Ive been prescribed klonopin for almosf 5yrs. Therapist WONT listen and continues to fill script for 1mg 3 times a day. Ive NEVER taken it like that.
I have a pill splitter - and i split them in half. I take either 1mg a day ot half of 1 mg a day.
Lately ive been tryn to taper. Ive found what seems to be good tapers, but hasnt worked for me.
With in 2-3 days of goin to 1/4 of the 1mg pill i start getting these HORRIBLE feelings.
At first i didnt realize it was the klonopin.
Ive talked with my therapist - she swears its a safe medication bla bla bla...
Even her taper schedule threw me into what seemed like toture. She said 10 days take half. Then next 7 days take 1/4 then next 3 days take a 1/4 and ill be off of the med.
yet this has not worked.
Please i want off of this so bad!
I cant go into a rehab or medical detox - because im a mother and owner/operator of my own business. If i close the business now - i will HURT bad financially.

Ive call all sorts of help lines - they all say rehab or medical detox. They wont help any further then saying that.
How do i wean and not go thru what it sends me into?
Thanks in advance
