hi tmstew
wow, it really sounds like your docs have left you in a lurch. i am not the right person to be answering you cause i go off meds all the time without much tapering but i do at least taper for a week and i usually havent been on them for years. i think missing a dose would be ok but i think your body would torture you in unimaginable ways if you didnt taper off more slowing then the half dose of pills you have been taking. i usually half, half, half for 3 days to a week at a time depending on how long i have been on it. it took me two months to get off klonopin as i just kept taking smaller doses until i felt my body adjust because i could feel the withdrawal from that. it is a shame you do not have your dr to guide you. i would definitely call and really demand the script or show up at the office if you can. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
