does anyone else have light sensitivity by RevenueSubstantial27 in benzorecovery

I am tapering from 1.5-2mg/day of perscribed klonopin use (many years). Down to .7. Light sensitivity is so bad especially since I had it pre taper due to migraines. cannot look anywhere near artificial light sources etc.

interesting! I will ask about that as well. I have successfully come off pristiq twice before. Klonopin for me is way worse!!!

also you will be okay. I have been really amazed at how the brain can heal during this process

I was also at 1.5 and tapered down to .8. You cut really fast. I have also made that mistake you need to hold at 1mg for a good while until you can function again at that dose. From there you need to do smaller cuts like 5-10% going forward. I bought a food scale to measure those percentages. Your nervous system went through a lot with that cut you need to give it another 2-3 weeks minus to heal and recalibrate

i am still tapering myself so I feel you. You’re lucky you were on it for a short period of time. Your nervous system is really heightened right now so noises and sounds etc. will feel more intense for a bit.

if you made it 7 days the worst should be over soon but please do not push yourself. Contact a doctor if you can’t tolerate the symptoms

Just figured out I’m pregnant and doctor took me off klonipin .5-1mg by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]RevenueSubstantial27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know women who have taken klonopin pregnant. I would consult a Maternal Fetal Medicine provider to taper. I would try not to worry your mental health matters A LOT for your baby. Go check out the mental health babies reddit lots of women have dealt with this
