Can this be past usage too? I used to be on diazepam (5 mg tablets I used to quarter). Then I was switched to Klonopin I think starting with 1 mg tablets, then moving to 2 mg tablets. I was on them for 30 years. At one point I was taking 14 to 17 mg of Klonopin per day. I worked it down to 4.5, then to 3 mg per day. At the time I was forced off them cold turkey in 2013 I was on 2.5 mg per day. I had to go inpatient to get off them. I have never been sicker in my life.
ETA: plus, I have benzodiazepene withdrawal syndrome with extreme rebound anxiety, sleep issues, tinnitus, dizziness, peripheral nerve damage, etc. |

Clonazapam 3.5 mg / day. Used to be on 5 mg / day but tapered down. Would like to get off them altogether but am terrified of the withdrawal.

I have a script for klonopin 2mg 3x a day PRN...but what I actually take is generally just 1mg at night for sleep, and if I'm having a panic attack, 1mg at that point in time during the day.

I have a script for .25 mg Xanax up to 3 times per day. I tend to take it more as a PRN when I'm actively having a panic attack or when I'm about to do something that is particularly anxiety producing. Some days I don't take any Xanax, some days I may take up to .75 mg. Just depends on what's going on.

Been on Klonopin for about 20 years, with a one-year (very difficult due to withdrawal) break in there. I'm currently working on coming off the stuff. So far I've gone from 2mg/day down to 1mg/day.

Clonazepam and lorazepam. I tend to suffer rather than take them. I can take up to 10 mg lorazepam prn and 6 mg of clonazepam prn. I tend not to take it.

Ativan, 1-3mg as needed. Lately I've been taking about 2mg/day. I need to cut back.

PRN Lorazrpam .5 MG. I probably take a little less than 1 every 2 months. I took maybe 2-3 per week when I first started taking it.
