So I've been sober from alcohol and benzos for 4 years, and it used to be a big problem... I had a huge seizure from withdrawal once.
I relapsed on opiates and quit mid-November, and was taking clonidine, clonazepam, and pregabalin to cope with the withdrawal symptoms. Except I went a little too hard with the clonazepam. I was taking 6mg per day for maybe 3 weeks, then "tapered" quite rapidly to zero over like 10 days. This is my 4th day after my last dose, 0.5mg, and I am out of pregabalin which was helping my tremors and anxiety. I want to tough it out, but my tremor is getting worse especially when I'm anxious and I'm scared about seizures.
I've been off clonazepam for 4 days so I don't really want to go back on any kind of dose, but say I went back on 0.125mg per day for like a week and then jumped off, would that help lessen the severity of the withdrawal? Anyone with experience tapering and what dose you jumped off at, how bad was the withdrawal?
