Well I had a Psychiatrist in Wisconsin who never changed my dose. Since moving to Indiana I just seen my new Psychiatrist yesterday. I told him I wanted the panic to stop. SO he put me on Effexor and has me coming off the klonopin in one week? Is this ok?
Today I will take 1 mg 2 times
Tomorrow will take 1mg only once
Next day 1/2 mg twice a day (do this for 2 days)
then he gave me a prescription for 1/2 mg
He told me to crack those in half and take 2 (am pm) on that day
Then the last day only take half of on pill
Now to me this seems kind of fast but I am no Psychiatrist!
Just wondering if this is to fast for as long as I have been taking them.
Thanks for any input.
Lugnut, I highly recommend not coming off that quick. Please search the web for tapring advice. Im a member of a forum that helps people get of benzos. Im tapering off now using milk titration. Its not safe to come off to quick as you can have long lasting wd syptoms. Please, Please do some research before cutting to quick. email me if you want the name of a website that can help you.
