Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted August 30, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi TripleL, welcome to SA. Congratulations on your new baby. . Can you give us some more information? When did you stop gabapentin and klonopin? When did you start back on klonopin? Did you reinstate at 3mg? How did you taper down to 1.25? It would help us if you can put this information in your signature, this link will take you to the sinature box in settings. We need start and stop dates and doses. http://survivingantidepressants.org/settings/signature/ How are you feeling L? Are you suffering any withdrawal? We have a benzo forum where the benzo experts hang out and will help you, you can copy your post over there with the added information and they will get you on track to taper klonopin safely and without the nightmare benzo withdrawal! http://survivingantidepressants.org/forum/29-members-only-benzo-forum/ **I am not a medical professional, if in doubt please consult a doctor with withdrawal knowledge. Different drugs occasionally (mostly benzos) 1976 - 1981 (no problem) 1993 - 2002 in and out of hospital. every type of drug + ECT. Staring with seroxat 2002 effexor. Tapered March 2012 to March 2013, ending with 5 beads. Withdrawal April 2013 . Reinstated 5 beads reduced to 4 beads May 2013 Restarted taper Nov 2013 OFF EFFEXOR Feb 2015 Tapered atenolol and omeprazole Dec 2013 - May 2014 Tapering tramadol, Feb 2015 100mg , March 2015 50mg July 2017 30mg.

Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted August 30, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info L, your signature is fine. I think you will be better to slow down the taper now, benzos withdrawal can be brutal. Often the pregnancy hormones kick in and hold off withdrawal, then after the birth withdrawal hits and is diagnosed as post partum. They will tell you more over on the banzo forum, I'm glad you joined us .
