I love that sentence,makes me feel like if I want to taper klonopin,I can do it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------You can, anyone can...... all you do is transfer your self from your current benzo to an equivalent dose of diazepam, then reduce this dose by 1mg every 1-2 weeks. It might take a year to give up, but it will be painless.
Having said that, the original symptoms for which you took a benzo might still be there when you stop.... same as if took aspirin for your arthritis, and then stopped, its quite likely the arthritic pain would come back.
