Worried about Clonazepam Withdrawal

[V82]

I think I have taken too much clonazepam lately and am risk of withdrawal. I usually only take 1 mg 7 times a month.

So for this month I have taken;

March 5: 1 mg

March 9: 1.5 mg

March 10: 1.5 mg

March 17: 2 mg

March 21: 2mg

I may have missed a day I took 1 mg in there.

As you can see my dosage is ramping up. How long until withdrawal hits?

I think you're good. Wouldn't worry about w/d. Take it easy tho or the day will come and you won't like it.

I have been prescribed clonazepam for about 6 years. I was taking four 2 mg. pills a day and then I got locked up and I went through a terrible withdrawal. I felt like my anxiety was 50 times worse than before I started taking them. I couldn't sleep and when I did the people around me said I was shaking in my sleep, like I was having a small seizure. I have expermented with benzos for a long time but only using them occasionally. It wasn't until I got my own prescription and started taking too much, too often that I experienced any problems. If you aren't taking them daily and with the doses you are taking you shouldn't have too much of a problem but benzos are tricky. I usually found them to be the type of drug that I would take some, not feel anything and take more and more and by the time I did get something off them it was too late and I had taken too many. Especially with xanax I would eventually black out and get myself into something I didn't want to be in. Just be careful and skip days so you don't take them everyday and get addicted because the withdrawal is rough and it can kill you if it is severe enough, like if you take larger amounts daily.

I just took 2 mg last night too sleep.

So that makes it:

March 5: 1 mg

March 9: 1.5 mg

March 10: 1.5 mg

March 17: 2 mg

March 21: 2 mg

March 25 2 mg

Is this pushing me over the limit?

Your frequency is fine, but with such i don't see why you've doubled your dose over the course of a couple weeks. Seems like unnecessary tolerance ramping. You're spacing out dosages enough to not experience withdrawal in my opinion.

I agree with the increase in dosing seems unnecessary. If you feel effects at 1mg or 1.5mg even, there's no need to take 22mg. How did you feel on your off days between 3/22-3/25?
