Doctor prescribed me 1mg Klonopin "as needed." I eventually started taking it daily. Huge mistake! 10 years ago I tried to stop cold turkey. That was the worst month I've experienced.
I tried cutting from 1mg to .5mg and was unable to do that. I cut from 1mg to .75mg in 2020 and haven't slept through the night since. I'm now at .5mg, 5 years later. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully get off the meds because the withdrawal symptoms are too intense.
