30 mgs of Valium did not help so Doctor put me on 2mgs Klonopin today (w/response)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

The 30 mgs of Valium did not help, & that was the highest dose I was on , when I

crossed over, from the 1.5mgs K. So, my doctor just put me back on 2mgs

Klonopin, in hopes of stabilizing me, and feeling normal. I'm hoping I can

function again, and in a few months do a very slow K taper by titrating or using

liquid K or something. What do you recommend? Thanks so much. Aryana>>

** Hi Aryana,

Klonopin is a fairly long-acting drug. You should be able to reduce it with

no problems. The only thing s you may find that just like before, the 2 mg is

not enough for you. I'd increase it temporarily if necessary in order to get

steady to begin careful reductions.
