I'm currently on roughly 1.5 mg of klonopin a day. I say roughly because some days I'll only take 1 mg and other days 2 or 3 mg. I've heard it's a long process where you have to cut down by like .10 every month or something. Keep in mind that I'm trying to ween off slowly so I can limit the withdrawal


You're taking 1.5 mg a day and still are concerned about withdrawals? I don't speak from benzo withdrawal experience but I didn't think that low of a dose would be much to kick. I have always heard that benzo withdrawal can kill you though so I can see why you're concerned, but I thought it would have to be one of these people that take 5-7 Xanbars a day.

Just start taking 1.5 for a week, then one for a week, then a half, then quit. It won't be very bad.

yeah, 1.5 mg is child's play compared to what I was doing. it gets a little weird at times, but it's very doable.
