Re: Clonazepam. Klonipin...whatever....-> Doctor assistance with withdrawals

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

I had many different doctors prescribe these sorts of drugs to me, and not one

knew how to safely taper. A few would nonchalantly tell me that if I experienced

any problems I could always cut my regular dose in half for a few days and then

stop completely. (never cared much for their attitudes)

One told me that if I was -that- sensitive to the discontinuation, I could halve

my dose, then quarter it, then stop.

And then they'd all look at me as if I'd grown another head if I complained

about continued withdrawal symptoms.

Best advice for me came from this group.

Take care always,

Tonya

> Most people I've com across in 22 years have found MDs almost useless in

guiding withdrawal. They often don't even acknowledge it exists. Actually, let

me ask some people here to speak up on this. Those who have been down this road

find the assistance they receive in groups like this most helpful. Speak up

please, folks? Thanks.
