Hi, I'm Overthis66

Hi, my journey started 20 years ago. Migraine and anxiety. Turned out it was my thyroid, but was placed on Xanax. .25 4 times a day. Did that for years. I weaned myself off and it took 3 years. A few years after a NP said, let’s try Klonopin. It’s completely different and not addicting!! Again, through testing and a great dr my thyroid levels were off. That’s the only time I have anxiety. One year ago I started weaning from the Klonopin. I was on .25 3 times a day. I would get to wear I was only taking it morning and evening. I kept trying to lower the evening dose. I’d get so far and I’d start all over. 4 months ago I ended up in ER. Anxiety they said and gave me Ativan. Well, who knew I was in withdrawal?! Next day my dr stopped Klonopin and put me on 1 mg Ativan twice daily. I was on it for 6 weeks. Sheer hell!! Every week I was begging to get me off this med. I was in interdose withdrawal. I was begging for 5pm daily and by midnight I was a mess. I’ve never before been in such a dark place. Stopped that med and started 10mg of Valium to taper off!! I did my first taper 3 weeks ago. I removed 1/4 of my evening 5mg tab. Day 5-6 I was feeling awful with 2 days of insomnia. I’m doing great now. I’m starting my next taper tomorrow and I don’t know if I should remove another 1/4 from my evening dose which gives me a 1/2 tab or if I should start tapering my morning dose. Any help will be appreciated!!!
