[QUOTE="TransitPoloce, post: 84245, member: 14550"] Hi Loki, I recently came off 8mgs of Klonopin after 4 years of daily use. I tapered down gradually off over 4 months, and switched to diazepam for the final part of the taper. Going from 1.25mg to 0mg may not be as bad as you think. In my experience it was the same as going from 3mg -> 2mg, 2mg -> 1mg, 1mg ->0 mg etc. Bad news is there is nothing that really helps with benzo withdrawal except time. (after a very slow, gradual taper). There are a lot of horror stories online, but in my experience it was no where near as bad as people make it out to be. I felt better as soon as I got off them. I am a bit more anxious/sensitive to life since being off them. But I feel 100x better overall. I am way less groggy, memory has improved. I feel like I'm experiencing life again for the first time if that makes sense. Good Luck with it [/QUOTE]
