"What kind of ultra-slow reduction plan did you use? What about .25 mg. reduction every 2 weeks instead of every week? "
This sounds about right by my experience. I still use the .125mg dose - get a good pill cutter - on occassion. So, I can't speak to being totally off. Most would find this dose nothing, but it does it for me, so I'm OK with it. I cut at .125mg installments every 2-3 weeks and did a .125mg dose consistently every other day for about 3 weeks. I still experienced some increased anxious feelings, but not unmanageable, just uncomfortable. With me, the difference between "normal" and "not normal" anxiety is distinguishable. Are you going for totally not using K at all or cutting to a lower dose? And why - as I'm curious? Benzo are great drugs when used as intended and have been around for decades with great results. People have horror stories, but my experience was and is good with K. At the time I REALLY needed it, Klonopin changed my life for the better. Good Luck.
