I go through periods of time where I take klonopin daily, generally for sleep, and then I just stop using it...but this time, instead of being on 1mg, I was on 2mg, so I don't think I can just stop it like I have in the past.

Tonight I'm going to to 1mg and we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping well, especially since my anxiety is much better controlled since starting buspar a few weeks ago -- I haven't taken any klonopin outside of my routine bedtime dose and I have it prescribed for 3x daily PRN and was using it 2-3x daily for a good few weeks. Buspar was a hail Mary, and thank God it worked!

Before my anxiety worsened, I slept fine with 1mg, so I'm hoping that I do, for a few weeks, and then we'll see about not taking it at all. I'd like to not take it at all anymore, at least for awhile.

I'm not really looking for advice or warnings or anything like that. My regular pdoc knows that I regularly go on and off klonopin, and my current fill-in pdoc doesn't really care what I take or do, so since I've done it without any hitches in the past, I figure I can do it again, even though it's from a higher dose.

So I guess the point of this post, this thread is to check in every now and then and let you guys know of my progress, and of course, in the ideal ending, my success.
