I had been taking 2-3 mg of it for 10 years+. 3mg lately. I began tapering off of it. I started tapering at 2.5 mg for 2 weeks.
I'm at 2.0 mg -- my 10th day. Will drop to 1.5 mg in 4 days.
I've been very tired and sedated the past few days. I can't find these listed as discontinuation symptoms anywhere. Anyone heard of, or experience anything like this?

I am currently withdrawing from klonopin & am also experiencing fatigue. I was on 1mg. a day-I cut my p.m. pill in half. For the first week I was tired but it went away. I am doing this very slow-I just cut my a.m.dose Thurs. & am again fatigue. It will go away until you reduce your dosage again. So far that's the only problem I am having. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Zena

> ZenaI've also taken Lunesta (3 mg pill) for sleep a couple of nights, but I can't believe that it could cause so much daytime sedation. Yet maybe Lunesta is contributing. Hopefully the sedation will go away before I drop another 0.5 mg in a few days.
I'm glad you haven't had any other problems.
Thanks
