Do I need taper ?
Hi guys been prescribed clonazepam for years as needed. Initially for first 5 years I used it sparingly. Some years only once a month or twice 0.5 mg. One year I only used it literally 3-4 times. But as of the last 2 years I use it about half of the month so 15 out of 30 days give or take. The last 6-9 months it’s basically been about the same up until the last 3 months specifically where my anxiety and PTSD have gotten worse. I take it 20-22 days out of these last 3-5 months. Only .5-1mg most of the time. If it’s a really bad day I’ll take 2 mg which I’m prescribed daily. I’m an alcoholic as well, coming off that as we speak but never had major withdrawal since I generally have tolerance breaks every month. Was drinking a fifth a day though when I drink. Do I need to taper off this low of a dose? Especially where I don’t take it daily? Wanna make sure I’m not damaging myself any further or risking serious harm or seizures. Thanks in advance.
