I have been weaning off Klonapin for longer than I can remember (two years?). I started at 3 mg. Went up to 4 mg. Then I started on my psychotherapy. After a while the pdoc took me down to .5 mg tablets (three a day). Now, with her guidance and patience I take half tablet morning, noon, and quarter tablet at bedtime. I am very sensitive to dosage cuts. She said the longer you are on a med the longer it takes to get off it. That includes dosage cuts. One month ago, I cut my bedtime dose from half tablet to quarter tablet. I still have not adjusted to the dosage cut. My body and mind will tell me when I have adjusted. By the way, I do not know if this will help, but I take Buspar for anxiety, and I KNOW it also helps with the depression. I have told the pdoc this, but she never responds to that statement.
