Hi, I'm Adrienne Coleman

September 15, 2026··

I have been tapering now just over four months with liquid clonozapam and taking it slowly in the hope the waves are less and the muscle pains start to go away. I am looking for support whilst I go thru this very hard situation which has made me angry that my original Dr put me on for Insomnia....

Klonopin — 0.25 mg — 3 years 3 months — actively tapering | without clinician
