Hi
I weaned off it on a doc's instructions with no problems. Went on to another
sleep med but did not like it as much so went back to Clonazepam. From
memory I went off it over a 6 week period. I have been taking it for about 4
years, started on 1/2 mg and now take 1mg.
Never believed I would take a benzo!
Now I take whatever works.
As I have not had to keep increasing the dose I hope I am not getting
addicted and can come off as I did 2 years ago, if I need to.

Regards Victoria
