    How to taper (or discontinue) a paradoxical benzodiazepine ? (clonazepam)

    Specifically, clonazepam. Paradoxical, in the sense that taking a dose increases alertness and is stimulating. I know the clichès, but I have not been able to answer to find an answer to that question. The drug was prescribed as a muscle relaxant and there may well be some kind of central...

    Did anyone use Tranxene to taper off Klonopin/clonazepam ?

    In a nutshell: this drug causes more harm than good. 2 mg a day. Any protocol/method to withdraw from this drug other than tapering the drug itself or stopping cold turkey ? I know there is a dr Cheney that advocates tapering with Tranxene and Doxepin elixir, but that single line was all I...
