Klonopin Abuse

[wmc1982]

I am perscribed 4mg of Klonopin a day for anxiety and I don't take them like I should. I'm going clean and telling the doctor to quit giving them to me. I'm supposed to take 2, 2mg pills a day, but i'm taking about 15 pills a day right now. At this rate Im going to run out in the next week. Anyone went through problems with klonopin or similar drugs and any suggestions how to safely wean myself off of them, like maybe saving some and taking 2 a day for around a week? Thanks for any suggestions or comments. I'm doing well with alcohol though atleast. Man addictions are tough.

Whatever you do, don't quit taking them all at once. Almost any medication will have side effects when you stop taking it cold turkey...I haven't used that medication but I'm sure it's no diferent to some I have taken. Just slowly reduce to the point where you arent taking any at all. I was pulled off of 3 medications one time, no gradual steps, and it was horrible. I still have lingering effects to this day, and that was 4 years ago. Also, make sure its totally safe to come off of the medication; I've taken myself off of pills only to end up in the hospital. Hope some of this helps.
Grace and peace
