I see your signature says you're prescribed 0.5mg of Klonopin. Is your signature up to date?

Assuming your signature is up to date, I would say that 0.5mg of Klonopin is a very low dose since it is the smallest dose that manufacturers will produce. So, going from 0.5mg to 0.25mg is not a large jump in my (non medical) opinion. But if you feel that cutting down to 0.25mg is too fast, you can always cut the tablets into 4ths and take 3 of the 4 pieces everyday until you feel comfortable taking only 2 of the 4 pieces (AKA half of the original tablet).

When it comes to going off a med completely (i.e., the last stage of the taper), some people find that it helps if they take their dose every other day rather than everyday. Then, if needed, they will space it out by taking it every three days. My pdoc told me to do this with Lexapro when I tried to go off it, and it didn't really help if I'm honest, BUT it does work for some people and I think it's worth a shot. However, you should *DEFINITELY* contact your dr about this approach before doing it. I do not recommend my approach without talking to your dr first.
