No, you don't use a syringe. Just tablets. You first slowly switch over to the equivalent dose of Diazepam (example: 10mg Diazepam = 0.5mg Clonazepam) and then simply taper 5mg every 1-4 weeks depending upon how long you've been taking the benzodiazepines. Its usually reserved for the shorter acting, more potent anxiolytic benzodiazepine i.e. Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan. The idea is that Diazepam has a MUCH LONGER Half-life and eases the withdrawals; less severity of symptoms.
Well, I was reading this website that had this really neat method of syringe tapering.
Basically what it said was, when you go from 10mg to 9mg, you are only reducing by 10%, which your body can handle. But once you get down to 2mg (the smallest diazapam pill) you can only really reliably half it, so you are cutting your dose by 50% in one shot. So this guy reccomended when you reach the 2mg dose, you switch to a liquid formula. In this way, using the gradiations on a 1cc syringe, it's possible to reduce your dose as little as .04mg at a time, so you can continue a very slow taper.
Made a lot of sense to me.
