I am coming towards the end of a 3 month taper. I ABUSED Xanax and Klonopin for a little over a year (mostly Xanax until I started my taper). When my supply ran low, I realized I was too deep into my use to stop cold turkey. I went to my GP (never prescribed me a benzo), begged to be put on a longer lasting benzo and start a taper plan. By the grace of God, he agreed to put me on 2mg of Klonopin as long as I agreed to see him every week for my script. I am on week 12 of my taper and down to .125mg a day. It has been rough for me but as of this week the only symptoms I am experiencing are slight insomnia, cold sweats, brain fog (THE WORST FOR ME), some anxiety, and dizziness. I have been on .125mg for 8 days now and have 2 .125mg ODT tablets left. After stabalizing, I am wondering if I should drop to .0625mg for 4 days or use the last of my .125mg in 2 days and jump off (DR said the .125mg/day was my last script) . I smoke high grade cannabis oil at night for sleep (during the day for an appetite if needed), take magnesium malate, bacopa, l theanine, and use CBD throughout the day. I eat at least 3 meals a day and exercise 2 to 4 days a week. I am 21 and have c/t xanax multiple times in the past without much trouble (was in jail at the time). Any advice would be a BLESSING as I am mostly consumed with fear at this point.
