Tapered To .5 Klonopin And Very Sick.

I've been on and off klonopin for 10 years for a chronic pain condition. I've been tapering from 2 milligrams down to .5 for a year now. Last week I started taking my does once a day a night instead of twice and 3 days later I got very sick. The weirdest part is I'm hearing squeaking in my hear when ever I talk. My body is burning terribly and alot of other symtoms such as twitching. I've been tapering with the .5 pills and the .125 wafers. How should I finish this taper? Do I need to go back up for a while? Or stay at this dose? I'm at my wits end and very scared. Should I do water titration? I tried switching to valium one and it didn't work but I didn't do the crossover as instructed I just switched all at once. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

If you take the dose back up, then you're going to end up going through it all, again. What you are experiencing are normal withdrawal effects. Even if you aren't abusing a medication, your body still gets used to having it and will react when it is withdrawn or the dosage is lowered.

Have you considered consulting a doctor for assistance?

As to switching to Valium, that really makes no sense, as it is also a Benzodiazepine, so you would just be switching from on to the other and still have the same problems.
