Okay don't get me wrong. I still am prescribed klonopin because of my OCD. Everything is in remission. The ADHD and the OCD and Cannabis psychotic disorder. So I have been taking gabapentin 300 mg twice a day and 3000 mg of l-lysine. Now the lysine in split up into three parts. Is there a chemical reaction between that supplement and weaning....I just took to many klon's hopeing that it would give me the euphoria it once did but it never happens....I am just amazed at how well I'm doing without it.
 
I don't think the lysine would have any effect on tapering; benzodiazepines are just hard as fuck to come off of, and most (if they've been on them for a long time/were at a really high dose (>=4mg clonaz/alprazolam/day)) require a very drawn out tapering plan on diazepam or chlordiazepoxide that takes months to just go down one step. How much were you taking/day and how much? Are you still planning on refilling your clonazepam the next time you can? Are you trying to be completely clean? What is your exact purpose of this tapering - permanent cessation or getting by til the next script?
 
What is your daily dosage of clonazepam? Do you take the same amount every day? Have you taken it today?
 
I have had a history with 1 mg four times a day. xanax 1 mg four times a day. Went to the psychward and they yanked me off of xanax and for 5 days I was in hell. After that i saw my doc and he put me on 0.5 klonopin twice daily. Well that was working out but I wanted a stim to help my add and he put me on ritalin and bumped the klonopin to .5 once daily. Now instead of having 60 I have 30. and I have went a good four days with only just feeling hot flashes. IDK I know gabapentin is good for withdrawals but they never helped at the low dose. And I am supposed to take 600 mg three times a day but, as you can see I was abusing them. Not as bad as last month but still. So I would take between 1 mg one day to .25 or.125 the next. it just mattered on the way my system was feeling.


No I havn't had any in like four days...and what I have had is .125 once a day.


Ya and it's by getting by until my next script because I already know that I'm going to want it. If it's there why not?
 
If you feel like you can get by without them then it might be a good idea to stop taking or at least lower your dosage instead of just resuming your daily dosage when you get your next script.
You might find yourself wanting to quit later on and wishing you'd taken the chance when it was this easy to do...
