So far I've told him about the Ashton Manual and posted the taper plans in the book.

Here's his situation:

etnies i'm tapering off of 1mg klonopin daily, .5 in morning and .5 at night here is my taper plan

when and how much valium should i consume if i can get my hands on some

until 8/9: .25 in the morning, and full .5 at night
8/9 - 8/12: .25 and .25 at night
8/13 - 8/16: no morning .25 at night
8/17 - 8/20: every other day .25 at night
8/21 - 8/24: every 3 days .25 at night
8/25 - and on: try to stop completely

after lowering dose and experiencing intense withdrawal symptoms, return to previous 4 day dosage for 4 days and try lowering again

"etnies i appreciate it bud

if i end up failing and the withdrawals are too intolerable i'll try the valium method next go around

i'm basically just dropping 1/4 dose every 4 days

it's a fast taper plan but i'm on a pretty low dose .5 twice a day so 1mg every 24h

hopefully i can pull it off and not end up in the loony bin dead or hospital "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me:


Schedule 5. Withdrawal from clonazepam (Klonopin) 1.5mg daily with
substitution of diazepam (Valium). (0.5mg clonazepam
is approximately equivalent to 10mg diazepam)

--------------------------

Him: day after tomorrow i have to 1/4th my dose again and i've already been feeling the madness brewing so i probably won't be very accessible for awhile soon so please shovel more recommendations into my dirty littleboy mouth and ass itt before i go completely insane in the coming days

my life for the remainder of august will likely consist of marathoning shit, meditation, healthy diet, water, vitamins, maddening psychosis and possibly valium if my friends love me

Pretty much left off at that...please help.
