I have been on clonazepam for past one and half years.My doctor prescribed it for sos but i have been taking it without considering slightest,always feels like i need clonazepam to feel better and it really helps out.To be honest i am buying this med from several store as any single store won't want to give more than few tablets,sometimes when my prescription expires i have to beg to the shop owners.Recently it has become a nightmare to me as i can't spend a single day without taking clonazepam,and i am always tired,breathelessness and depressed.Someone suggests me how to wean it off,i have been trying but really can't..

Hello, I am not sure what SOS is or clonazepam, but I feel for you, why does not your Dr. refill your prescription? There has to be help for you, you should not be made to suffer. Talk to your Dr. and get the help you need. I am a fellow sufferer and going crazy with anxiety, tied up with severe depression. Lets stick together, we need the medical system on our side. I am praying for you, you need relief. Sending love and best wishes. Sprinkle 1.......

Getting off clons is very hard

You should do it with an inpatient detox center.it is also dangerous to do on your own.try to get some help.Just don't stop taking them.Serious you need to call detox, your dr.please be careful doing this.good luck

Yes you can I have, I been on .o5 mg 3 times a day. It is very additive. Here is the way I was told to do it . One tablet split in 4, then I took a fourth for 8 weeks, at first you will have a little of withdrawal weening off it for about 3 to 4 weeks but it is manageable. Then you keep going on with each 4th for eight week. Continue on with the rest of the pill. I am off two pills now. This is a very bad additive pill, that’s why it’s so hard to ween off. Good luck to you, you can do it❤️

Now i am on 0.5 mg...Should i split it into four and take each one everyday?

So you only take one a day. Then yes a fourth of the pill for 8 weeks. Then just keep on with another fourth. You might have a little more anxiety, you might feel your body shaking a little for a few weeks, but that is withdrawal. They have cutters you can use to cute the pills. Endless you can cut then evenly yourself. If you have any more question just write. ❤️
