> Withdrawing from any benzodiazepine can be a problem for some people, no problem at all for others. Try cutting your dose down by 1/4 mg per week and see how it goes. Perhaps you will not have any problems. If you do, do see your doctor about your withdrawal problems. One caution - avoid caffeine and alcohol during the withdrawal process.
=========================================
Good advice. I'm on 1.5 - 2 mgs and have stopped several times. The key was to listen to my body and taper at a rate that is right for me. No chart or preset expectations, just do what feels right.
Of course, you probably need a doc that's going to help you if the concentration problems reoccur. What are you and your doc's long term strategy for treating this problem since it is more likely thatn not to return. Klon doesn't cure anything it only treats symptoms.
Best,
