Benzos 2 months on low dose ativan/klonopin

You'll be fine, don't taper just drop off if you want to quit. Your dose is low enough you should be fine. If you are experiencing trouble with the way you feel cut your dose in half for a couple of nights.

i agree with this, maybe try one day at a half or quarter dose first and see if you're shaky at all. if you are try a week taper, if you're not just deal with the anxiety however you need to, the shakiness/tremors are the dangerous thing to look out for. but i've used benzos way less responsibly then this and needed very little tapering.
 
some are more subsceptibl than others.
not just seizures but protracted withdrawal symptoms r a thing to look out for.
if the op feels like he needs a month to taper stabilize taper etc he shud do it.
keep doses low tho and dont taper longer than a month

funny klonopin stresses u cuz compared to atovan it feels much stronger.
xanax makes me restless personally.

and yess a zdrug at night is fine if u stop benzos all together i mean.
and remember theyre addictiv too.
ambiens my favorite
 
I went to detox on day 3 of no valium and told them I didn't want any librium since that would just make the withdrawals start over again once I left, so wanted to be in detox while coming off the valium so that I could get immediate medical attention if anything happened, but they forced me to take the librium.

^Ha yeah, reading this again...that makes absolutely no sense at all!

You're going in there to detox from benzos, so they give you more benzos for a few days and then show you the door? That was a mistake, they usually use hydoxyzine in a case like that...I've seen phenolbarbital tapers, but not in a 5-7 day detox, over the course of 2.5 weeks or so...
