Re: Should I hold off on klonopin cut again?(w/response)

[Guest guest]

Should I book a consult with you? Depression is lifting but want to handle this

all the best way from here on if there is more things I can do as you mention.

I did not updose. Still at 1.75 mg klonopin. I had planned to stay at this dose

for a few months but it appears you have other things I can be doing.

I will have limited access to computers after today (sunday) only an IPhone as

my computer has a virus and is being repaired.

Thank you

** Hi Kathy,

I think this would be the best route for you right now as long as you're

committed to it. There are people who do the consultation but have no intention

on acting on what they need to do.They expect to hear a magic bullet that will

be easy and quick to fix things. This doesn't exist. But there are things one

can do to minimize the damage being done and maximize the recovery process.

Like everything else, it is specific to a person's circumstances. There is no

one formula that is best for everyone.

The material needed for consultations is in the FILES section on the group

site. You may have to wait until your computer is fixed as there is a form of

several pages to fill out as part of preparing for your consultation. It gives

me a good picture of your situation. Of course, if you can, you could always go

to the library and use the computer there to fill out the form. Do whatever

works best for you.

adverse reactions to a drug) is that unless you feel as well or better than you

felt prior to the last reduction, you cannot do another reduction. You know

it's time when you feel better.
