How long should Klonopin be taken?
human
My husband of thirty years died suddenly at home alone with me of a heart. Attack. Incredibly health conscious and a fitness trainer he was 72 years old. I could not revive him and cannot remove the image of my unsuccessful tries to revive. I went.to a physiatrist and she prescribed 1mg kolonopin twice a day. I also take remron for sleep as well as lsinopril for blood pressure. This seems to be working quite well asi own and operate a business. Husband died five months ago, leaving little money and large home to care for. Decision making is not difficult, have good mental clarity, do not drink alcohol. How long should I maintain this regimen? I think I may jump out of my skin without the kolonopin

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If you are doing good and anxiety is less then you can think of reducing the dose of Klonopin. Its not advisable to stop the drug abruptly. You should talk with your doctor and reduce the doses gradually over 6-10 weeks. The dose should be reduced by around 0.25 mg every two weeks followed by complete stopping the drug at around 6 weeks. Gradual dose reduction will prevent any kind of withdrawal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
