Ive been on klonopin for about 6 months and was at 2mg a day. . 5 4 times a day. Then I went up to 3 mg. Is it easy to get back to that 2 mg dose without having a seizure. Ive only been on the 3 mg for about 2 weeks at the most. I don't like being on a higher dose than 2. Is it safe to just go back to the 2mg. Or is tapering needed.
Are you taking it for a seizure disorder or for some other reason? I take it for insomnia for instance.

Yes, ask your Physician.
And for future reference, stop sending me ranting PM's.
Is there anything you will be replacing it with?

No.just going back down to the 2mg. I went up to 3 and got real tired and figured I could get by with just 2. Its only been a short time.sould it be okay u think to go back down by .5 each day for like 2 days and then just back to the 2.that was my plan.
that was my plan.
What is your doctor's plan? This should always be discussed with your doctor.
Understand it can take a few days to a few weeks for the tiredness to wear off. This is one of the main reasons for non-compliance with medication.
