Cut Down Klonapin From 1 Mg To .5. Feel Shaky. How Long Will This Last?
10-15 days
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Klonopin 1 mg is not a big dose. And generally it doesnt cause withdrawal symptoms. However if it is troubling you then you will have to reduce it step wise. Like you have to move to 0.75 mg followed by 0.5 mg and then to 2.5 mg and then stop it over a period of few weeks.
The shakiness that you are experiencing generally lasts for 10-15 days.
During that period take plenty of water and rest.
Further you should consider starting yourself on some antidepressant as well if you have anxiety disorder.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Sorry for the typographical error.
I meant to say 0.25 mg.
Clonazepam has a very long half life and hence withdrawal symptoms take a longer time.
Thats why it may take more than 10 days to reduce the withdrawal symptoms.
