Hi Scott,
I'm kind of foggy mentally right now--just got up,takes a couple cups of coffee...anyway,to answer your questions:
I plan on doing the .125 reduction for 2 weeks.
Then,if I'm ready,another .125 for two weeks,etc.
Yes,it'll take a long time to get off the Klonopin,but since I am bipolar,I have to be extremely careful about withdrawal.
Here's where the signifigance of my brain fog comes in: I cannot for the life of me figure out a dosing schedule for the day. I know I want to take .75-.85 before bed,around 2am.,so that leaves 2 5mg tabs. Is it wise to space these in two 5mg doses (every 8 hours),or .25 every 4 hours during the day? I want to take the higher amount at bedtime to minimize insomnia. Can you help me out here? Again? Please? I've no idea how long it takes for it to wear off. I guess that's the "half life"? I'll have my degree in pharmacology when this is over...
