      Hi what did you mean in the crossover video about klonopin sometimes having interdose WD,I’m kinda confused as that’s what I’m on and about to do a crossover. I know it has a medium half life, so just wondering what you meant by that. (But think I’m in tolerance WD after 9 years)

      @@wickedwind76​​⁠ Klonopin may have a long half life, but it’s not actually that long that’s why a lot of people do a crossover from Klonopin to Valium because Valium is the longest acting benzo that works in your system.

      @@elijahsbenzojourney1705 Yes i know this. But why did you say "sometimes it is sometimes it's not" (long acting) i was wondering if you think interdose WD with klonopin is possible. I'm almost feeling like it's wearing off after 4-6 hours or so.( i will be doing a crossver from 2mg klon BTW to 40 mg valium.) thanks

    I took copious notes in the night during my first few months. They go from being unintelligible to pretty tight. You can see the improvement.
    Thanks for the vids, they're really great.
    What do you think of doctors who give advice but have not gone through the fire? They make me upset when they make like they know things from first hand knowledge when in actuality they are doing nothing more than regurgitating what they've been told by a benzo w/d victim.

    Have you found out about red light therapy. It is used for neurological disorders in the brain. I try to jump outside of box to find ways to quicken the healing of receptors.

    Can you show the symptomps and the days they popped up and your taper schedule? My taper is everyday and it goes down easy for 2 days and 3rd day i have worse symptoms but on the 4th day I can go down quite a bit and continue from there. So i have the every 3 days bump but now I know and don't get sad about it. I know it already adjusted down but now this is the after reaction to it but next day it shows that indeed I am down adjusted already dose wise. My adjustments are small every day but if I get bad I take just a little more just to adjust more down the next day successfully!

      Thank you for the comment. You are doing exactly what I’m doing and just make a record of it because you will see that there’s a pattern and it won’t bother you as much. You’re doing a wonderful job. Just keep moving forward. I’ll try to share the logs that I have.

    I’m to scared taper off clonazapam, I tried once and my legs felt weak so went back to the original dose. I’m only on .25mg I’ve been on this for 10 years everyday for anxiety from a health diagnosis.

      I'm on clonopin too for ten years .75mg and it sucks to taper just have to start super slow maybe start with a 1% taper per month, then try 2% and find the rate that works for you. I'm here with you doing the same thing we can do it! Also i used a 400 dollar scale from amazon the reads out four decimal points and i use sand paper to make my cuts and i cut it daily so over a month it adds up to 1%, 2% whatever speed i'm currently at. You got this!

      Just start slow and see how you feel. It’s not a rush or race.
