Hi njonjo and welcome,

How were you planning to taper the klonopin?

We do go with a harm reduction taper explained here:

Why taper by 10% of my dose?

 

Can you tell us when and what you presently take right now? 

Note the time that you take each drug and dose.  Then next to the time, note the name of the drug and your present dose.

 

Just put that in a reply right here.

 

Did you recently do a 50% taper of your klonopin? 

 

You might try and edit your signature to a list type format.  That would make it so much less difficult to read.  I'll copy over the sample signature and the link so you can get back to yours to edit it.

Example:

2001–2002 paroxetine 
2003  citalopram 
2004  paroxetine
2008  paroxetine slow taper down to 2016 Aug off paroxetine
2016  citalopram May 20mg  Oct slow taper down
2018  citalopram 13 Feb 4.6mg 15 Mar 4.4mg 29 Apr 4.2mg

 

If you edit your signature, the new one replaces any prior signature. It will appear in your signature under all your posts, even your old posts. If you want to save the information in the old signature, copy it and save it in a file on your computer or in a post in your Introductions topic.

 

(As of 12/31/13: Signatures are limited to 12 lines of text.)

How to add or edit your signature

1. Click on this link to open the correct page in User Settings:
   Create Your Signature in "Account Settings". 

Yours will look different. And right now, I'm just seeing medications/drugs since last January.  I like to see if you've previously been on and off meds/drugs too summarized.

 

This is just information that helps us help you when you get started here.  Different of course, from benzo buddies.

 

Welcome again, do your best to just get to giving us information in the formats asked for, for right now.  Thanks.

 

Love, peace, healing, and growth,

Hello,I was taking 1 mg of klonopin for 2 months every day before I start to reducing it,and as klonopin I have taking diazepam from 5mg to 15mg daily,when  I started to take luvox 4 months ago I slowly reduce klonopin to 0.25 daily and tapered too quickly diazepam and stoped diazepam and start having problems,then go back to 0,5 klonopin daily and diazepam 2,5mg daily to stabilize,I am on that dose for a month and a half now,separated in doses and I am stable,started to taper klonopin a week and a half ago,micro taper with scale,0.001 every day or two,I started with 0.001mg daily but I have'd some simptoma so I slowed  a little,,,,so now I'm on-Klonopin 0.25-1-0-1,,,,,,,luvox 0-0-1,,,,,diazepam 2,5 mg separated in two doses throw the day becouse 2.5 diazepam in one dose is kicking me hard,its funny but it is Like that

[manymoretodays]

Hi njonjo,

Okay thanks for more information.  It's still a bit confusing the way you are presenting it.  I read you are feeling stable now?  Was that correct?  That you are feeling pretty good?

I will attempt to sort what you've posted out right here and then you can make any corrections, if needed.

 

2022 January 8- Luvox(was it started then?) 100 mg, and diazepam 5 mg as needed

           August 10- Zoloft (started at what dose if remembered, and was the Luvox discontinued?) diazepam 5 mg twice daily

           November - CT Zoloft 

           December- klonopin 1 mg with diazepam 10 mg daily to 2023 May 

2023 May- September 20th-   Luvox 100 mg, tapering klonopin presently it's at  0.5 mg, diazepam 2.5 mg

 

diazepam had been as high as 15 mg/day, and have tried to get off diazepam before too quickly, which resulted in remedication with both klonopin and diazepam

 

Any drugs before January of 2022?

And so it looks like you are tapering daily by .001 mg for the klonopin now. 

Can you clarify what this means:  "so now I'm on-Klonopin 0.25-1-0-1,,,,,,,luvox 0-0-1,,,,,diazepam 2,5 mg separated in two doses" ?

 

Easiest way to do this would be to:

Note the date

time:  drug name, dose

time: drug name, dose

time: drug name, dose

continue noting the times, and drugs for a 24 hour period

 

That would be really helpful.

 

Do try to stick with the same dose of each drug taken at the same time of day every day.  That consistency can pay off in adding to stability.  If there is too much jumping around in dose and/or different timings to when you take a drug that confuses the nervous system and can cause symptoms, either immediately or after awhile.  diazepam has a long half life and sometimes changes made one day may not be felt until much later. 

 

I don't blame you for wanting to at least lower your benzo load now as it reads like it was quite high or a lot.  Maybe once you've lowered your doses, or even eliminated one of the benzo's you'll want to begin to taper the Luvox.  I can certainly bring in one of the more benzo savy mods to take a look too.  And I'm glad to help overall and with the Luvox taper when that day comes.

 

Glad to read you are HOLDING now.  Daily tapering and also a linear taper(dropping by the same amount) every day may have caught up with you.  Meaning you might have gone too fast with things.  Again, we usually taper by a percentage drop from each previous dose.

It also sounds like you might have got into trouble after your first CT taper from Luvox(if that was the case) or fast taper of diazepam, and then that was followed up with being overly medicated. 

 

Thanks for getting back to me, and all the information you have given.  I'm just asking for a bit more today.  Thanks in advance.  We do also have a Benzo forum, which is available to members when signed in.  Don't start a topic there, as it is not been staffed for that right now.  But do have a look at some of the top pinned topics there.  A lot of good information that you may have not seen yet. 

Benzo tapering and recovery

[manymoretodays]

Thanks njonjo!  Good job answering questions.

So 10 years of AD's, many different ones prior to January of 2022.

 

Work out a list, like I did here:

2023 May- September 20th-   Luvox 100 mg, tapering klonopin presently it's at  0.5 mg, diazepam 2.5 mg

 

 including 2012-2022: many AD's tried......on paper first, and then you can do the edit to your signature.  That's the portion under all your posts.  Then click on the link that takes you there and type it all in, click on the Save button at the bottom so it takes. 

 

I'll copy your present signature here, so we have that copy in case you run into any difficulty:

Present signature:

1-8-2022-luvox 100mg-diazepam 5mg ass needed,,,,,,8-10-2022-zoloft-diazepam5mg twice daily,,,,,11-2022-CT zoloft,,,,,12.2022-5.2023.-klonopin 1mg-diazepam10mg daily,,,,,5.2023 till today-luvox 100mg-klonopin 0.5.-diazepam 2.5mg daily,tapering klonopin

 

Then just jot on paper starting in the morning, times in o'clock on the left, followed by the drug taken and dose.  And put that right here in a reply.

 

I bet it seems tedious and  but it's so helpful.

Hello @njonjo

 

A few more questions, your signature is a little confusing to read.

 

On 9/21/2023 at 11:36 PM, njonjo said:

then go back to 0,5 klonopin daily and diazepam 2,5mg daily to stabilize,I am on that dose for a month and a half now

 

Can you please clarify when you started taking these two drugs again? From your signature, it looks like May?

 

Are you still taking diazepam, as needed?

 

When did you start tapering klonopin, and what dose are you at presently?

I started with 0.001 g tapering klonopin daily and find that it's to fast,I haved mild simptoms,confusion,iritabillity and headaches,so I started with 0.001 g reduction off tablet every second day(one tablet of rivotril has 0.150 to 0.160g)

 

So, you started tapering this way 14 days ago, developed WD symptoms and slowed down your taper.  Are you currently having any withdrawal symptoms? When did you start reducing every second day?

When did you last do a decrease?

 

I did a little format change to your signature so it reads a little easier.

 

And was wondering how you are doing today?

I failed micro dry taper klonopin,from your expirience what drug is the one that is better to eliminate first,sorry I am confused right now,Taking klonopin,diazepam and fluvoxamine,tapering klonopin in slow rate of 0.001mg every second day and didn't go well,I would be happy to eliminate at least one drug,diazepam as I see is drug that is less dificult to eliminate,maybe this time is better to eliminate diazepam

Why do you feel you've failed? Maybe you're reducing too quickly. What dose are you at? Could you please update your signature with any changes.

Well,I haved tapered down about 10% klonopin,and  few very stresfull days and chest titration get me back at the begining so it is Like in signature,now must stabilize and try diferent Metod,dry micro taper of klonopin needs discipline and there I'm not the best one

I see you Also tapering klonopin,or you have finished,then you know what I'm talking about

Is there a reason you chose to start with a micro taper? Would it be easier to reduce monthly?

 

If you have an increase in symptoms, holding and stabilizing is probably a good idea, as you said.

And just to notice,I'm Been thinking to get off diazepam first,I am taking it 2,5mg in two separated doses, becouse I have confusion and hedeces just with that 1,25 mg when I take,but when I dont take I am in iritabillity mode,I have read somewhere that fluvoxamine and diazepam head some sort of conection when they take together
