OK to taper Klonopin by reducing .125mg every 7 - 10 days? Hello
I was on 2mg of Klonopin for about 2 weeks then wanted to taper. It's been several weeks and I am now down to 1.375 mg a day and currently stabilized.
Does the following taper plan seem sensible:
TOTAL
DAILY
Week 1 - .5 .375 .5 1.375
Week 2 - .5 .375 .375 1.25
Week 3 - .375 .375 .375 1.125
Week 4 - .375 .25 .375 1.0
Week 5 - .375 .25 .25 0.875
Week 6 - .25 .25 .25 0.75
Week 7 - .25 .125 .25 0.625
Week 8 - .25 .25 0.50
Week 9 .125 .25 0.375
Week 10 .125 .125 0.25
Week 11 .125 0.125
My question is, does it matter if the reduction happens at different times each week? Where 1 week I'm reducing the morning dose, then the next week it's the mid-day dose? -

Just wanted to rework the formatting. Hope this info is clearer:
TOTAL
1.375 Week 1 - .5, .375, .5
1.250 Week 2 - .5, .375, .375
1.125 Week 3 - .375, .375, .375
1.000 Week 4 - .375, .25, .375
0.875 Week 5 - .375, .25, .25
0.750 Week 6 - .25, .25, .25
0.625 Week 7 - .25, .125, .25
0.500 Week 8 - .25, .25
0.375 Week 9 - .125, .25
0.250 Week 10 .125, .125
0.125 Week 11 .125 -
Yes that's fine. The half life of klonopin is long enough so whichever dose you reduce should be okay. -
Out of curiosity, how are you dosing such precise doses as 0.375. -
Duh. I just did the math and I'm assuming you half and then quarter a 0.5 mg tablet. Sherlock I ain't. Similar Threads -
