I've been taking clon for about 3 months pretty much daily now. I know trouble. My doses were mostly .7mg/day but for the past week its more like 1.4/mg a day. The reason I started clon is because I am at the end of a suboxone taper and let the benzo get out of hand. Of course. I tapered down my suboxone use over a year down to .125mg. My last dose was yesterday and am taking a 5 day weekend now to deal with whatever suboxone wd I might experience. I'm actually not too worried about that and if it does get really bad, I don't mind upping my clonozolam dose for just a few days.
Anyway, I know when this is over, in about a week, I need to get off this clonozolam. 3 months isn't a terribly long amount of time but is is clonozolam and I understand how strong it is. After doing a bunch of research, it seems diclazepam will be good for me to switch over to and taper down from. I've been on opiates for too long and now to have to deal with a benzo taper is kind've annoying. I know it's my fault.
I just have a few questions. WHat's the best way to switch over? Take my morning clon and then that night start taking my diclaz nightly and leave the clon behind? What do you think id a good starting dose for the diclaz? I'm hoping like 2.5mg will do to start. And then do you think a 2 - 3 week taper is enough time? Like I said, I don't think I let my clon addiction get too crazy and it's only been 3 months. I would love to be done with drugs within 3 - 4 weeks.
Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks everybody,
Jackie
