DMV64: reinstate Saphris?

[DMV64]

Hey! 

So good to hear from you! And yes-thank you! I am proud of my patience-and I remember those times...may they never return.

I definitely want off the Geoden. And then the Klonopin. My memory sucks. Who knows if it will ever come back.

I did read that BrassMonket article-I think maybe I have read it before?

Very helpful.

Ok--I am going to try 4 weeks! : )

I will let you know how it goes.

If you have been holding for 6 weeks up until now, instead of going straight to 4 weeks you could hold for 5 weeks for the next one and see how that goes.  If okay, then you could hold for 4 weeks on the following reduction.

Hello!

I am joining over here because I am now ready to begin my Klonopin taper! So grateful for all the help in my other successful tapers.

Current dose is 1.5/day divided into 2 doses of .75 twelve hours apart. I have a compounding pharmacy here. They compounded for me but made a mistake and has the dose at 5ML three times a day. (They will fix this with next bottle).

Some of you may recall I have a pretty severe math disability and so am hoping to have guidance on tapering.

I dropped to 6.8ML two times a day which I think is about 10%? I plan to hold 3-4 weeks. It is just day three and I am having symptoms, manageable so far. Nausea, twitching, weepiness, confusion, anxiety. The anxiety is most pronounced between 4:30-9:30pm (when I take night dose).

So...am I correct in my math? And any ideas about that wave in the day? 

 

Thank you!!

@DMV64 It's good to hear from you. Please note I moved your post from the Information for Making Benzo Liquid thread and placed it here in your intro/update thread since you're asking questions about your taper. This keeps all of your information in one place.

Is this in mL or mg?

What was the previous dose? We'll need that to calculate the percentage.
