Hello,
Sorry if this is answered somewhere but I am a bit out of it to search for a long time. I have been perscribed .625 a day of klonopin for years now. I gave up trying to give it up once I hit that amount during a taper. I even had a big stockpile bottle of extra. Well for 3 weeks I increased my klonopin dose to about 2mg a day. I thought withdrawals wouldn't develop for 4 to 6 weeks, at least that is what I heard and wasn't expecting to be hit with withdrawals after 24 hours of going back to my old dose. My doctor will likely boot me and send me somewhere else if she finds out about this, although I will go to the doctor if it gets any worse. I have gone 2 weeks before with increased dosage, but I guess I get addicted in 3 weeks. Today is day 3 of cutting down to near normal. I'm taking .825mg because I can afford to do so for a few weeks then cut down to .75 and finally to .625mg. I'm praying I'll be mostly back to normal in a few weeks since this was a short term increase. I'm not honestly sure though how long the withdrawals will last though. With kava kava I feel a little anxious and somewhat depersonalized as well as tired. Without kava kava I feel very anxious, nauseous, a little sweaty, and depersonalized. Yesterday I had a bad headache, but it was gone this morning. I have been able to get 2 nights of full sleep despite feeling this crappy.
Anyway I started taking Borogu instant kava kava which does help with the withdrawals, but there is a slight edgy feeling and doesn't last long. I think kava kava candies are better but they are not as strong, and they do not last very long. I'm not sure what kava would be best to use right now. I have had bad luck with root and it is a pain to prepare. (no blender) Are there any instant kavas you all could recommend to get me through the next few weeks? I hope I made since.
