If I go cold turkey from Benzo use how long will withdrawal symptoms take to show up?

I take Clonazepam. 1 mg to 1 1/2 mg twice a week.

When do I know I'm in the clear and I can destroy the Clonazepam?
 
That really depends on how long you've been taking the clonazepam for. Have you been taking it twice a week consistently at roughly the amount you mentioned?

Or do you take it more sporadically? Like three times a week here, once there, etc. A big part of the WDs you get will depend on how you have been taking them and in particular how long.
 
i'm not a medical professional so i can only relate personal experience. at that dose and that frequency, i would not expect someone to be physically dependent.

if you are 2-4mg/every day, things become noticeable at 24 hours and hit the fan at 48-72 hours.
 
Using once or twice a week for a long enough time will eventually lead to physical dependance. You can expect withdrawals to start anywhere from one to three days after your last dose.
 
u may not even experience WD if u take only 1.5mg twice a week, maybe rebound anxiety at the most, but nothing life threatening, and depending how long u been taking kpin for, kpin withdrawl at high doses is the word IMO, cuz of its long agonizing half life, and long withdrawl. i detoxed off of it in 3 days with phenobarb at detox, and for a whole month i was having back to back panic attacks, i felt like i was crawling thru my skin, i so disagree with the rapid pheno taper...benzos are nothing to toy with
 
I take 1 mg usually. I take it about 7 times month. But there are no set dates. Once a month I may go over the 1 mg to 1.5 mg.

Hopefully in a week I will be in the clear!

It has been six days since I took any clonazepam and I don't feel any major withdrawal symptoms. I do feel a bit more anxious though, I was thinking perhaps this is gonna be the beginning of withdrawal.

I hope not though cause I want to get rid of all benzos for good this time!

When do I know I am in the clear from any symptoms?

The Benzos are ready to be binned.
 
Hey guys

I messed up and took 1 mg on Saturday night about 9 days in cause I couldn't sleep and I gave in. I feel alright 3 days later. I am going to give them to a friend to hold on to. I can't trust keeping them in my cupboard.

Hopefully I can avoid any withdrawal symptoms this time as well.
 
Your on a fairly low dose and not daily. I think you'll be in the clear, maybe just a little tapering though. I always taper down to ridiculously low doses, but I stick by it. It's more comfortable.
 
I thought i could keep my dosing to twice a weak. But after a while it caught up and i'd feel cruddy the day after , so now i am taking a little bit every day. It really sneaks up on you, hopefully i can keep my clonazepam dose low every day. I only dose semi high once in a while
