I know it's just going to get worse, the further down I go. With her schedule she had me stopping with .5mg on the last week, but I added a .25mg week.

It's hard, but I just want off this stuff!

She's replacing it with vistaril and propranolol. I'm not sure if I like vistaril yet. It does help my anxiety, but makes me feel weird and out of it.

Do you have a taper schedule or replacement meds?
Your very clear taper schedule sounds like a good way to come off Klonopin.

I also take Inderal (propanolol). I've been taking 10mg 2 times/day, but my p-doc has urged me to take an additional 10mg, or even more. It works well for anxiety, with no side effects that I've noticed.
