Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted January 1, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 1, 2017 Approximately .125mg would be a half of the .25mg I am guessing? Yes, that is correct. But I'm concerned about the word "approximately". How are you tapering? Are you doing a liquid taper or using a scale? I am going to post in benzo forum with my benzo taper in the signature line. Should I let you know so that some of this thread can be transferred?? Thank you. Let's copy and paste instead of transferring, as I don't want to remove anything from your current thread. I have to go out for most of the rest of the day, but I'll catch up with you tonight or tomorrow. Please post an update after you make the updose and let us know how you're doing. Link to comment
Cheryl Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 I am breaking the half of .25mg in half with fingers...no scale. I was on Lexapro 10mg, once a day for about 8 yrs combined with Abilify 2mg, once per day and Klonopin ,25-.50mg up to 4 times a day. Prior to that multiple trials of various SSRIs and low doses of unsuccessful various mood stabilizers in anticonvulsant category with the same dose of Klonopin for a total of over 16 yrs.[/font][/size]Withdrawal from Abilify around Aug. 2015 and slow taper of Lexapro began late Jan. 2016. As of January 2017 I am 11 months full withdrawal from Lexapro and was .25mg of Klonopin at night.(went to .25 klonopin at night only somewhere in October)<p>**Update with my Klonopin taper. I was on .25mg at night and .25mg in AM with varying doses of .125mg during day, maybe once or twice on as needed basis. Starting in early September 2016 reduction of .125mg day dose was decreased to only .25mg AM. Over 2-3 weeks was down to .125mg AM for about 3-4 weeks. As of sometime in October down to only .25mg at night. As of 1/7/17 I am updosed to an additional .25mg at night, for a total of .5mg. As of June 23, 2017 I am on a liquid tapered dose of klonopin. Current dose 4.1ml as of February 21, 2018** Link to comment
