You are doing great to lower Klonopin. I wish I could. Some days, I do take 2 mg instead of 4 mg, if I forget a dose and don't seem to miss it, but I think I'd notice pretty fast if I kept it up. If I can ever get out of overbearing, overwhelming stress, I hope to be able to reduce meds, but every time I think it can hardly get worse, it does. And this year has been for the dogs - MIL dying in late December (meaning we can't get much in the way of financial help from H's parents since his father now has a super limited income and tons of health issues), turning 40 in January, getting a perforated ulcer as a Valentine's gift, horrible pain after surgery, hard recovery, my old pdoc retiring, starting with a new pdoc, going mixed now forever, no money to do anything over the summer, HOA on our case, psych ER, CPS case, no money in the bank. Ugh. My daughter's school is having a book fair next week. Usually I give her some money to spend, but this year, she is going to have to take some of her own money from gifts and such if she wants to buy anything.

I have been on Klonopin for over 10 years now, close to 20 really, just with a break between for pregnancy (and at the end of that, the OB had me on Zoloft & Xanax).

Are there any other reasons you might be tired like allergies or fighting an illness or other stress in your life? Could be without the Klonopin, the stress in your life is causing you increased exhaustion? Maybe there are some avenues for anxiety that can help? I am not sure of your financial situation, but if you can afford it, acupuncture is definitely worth it. Not sure what vitamins you take, but Omega-3s do help a bit with stress & anxiety.

Is your sleep getting worse on the lowered dose of Klonopin, sleeping less or waking a lot at night?
