In reply to I've come off 1 mg just fine..., posted by spriggy on February 8, 2006, at 19:25:58
I have used Klon to taper off Xanax and Ativan...long half life. 1 MG is not much but the hardest to get off. Easy for me to get from 3 to 1. When I want to taper down K I mix with Valium and taper slowly. No suffering. Valium has 20 hr half life (apx) and much easier to taper. It is the return of the initial underlying anxiety this reapears that makes it difficult. It returns in full force so it can be very unpleasant. Each person is different and most doctors prescibe a taper that is too rapid. It is living hell (ears ring, headaches, nerves frayed and insomnia) if you go to fast.
