Suggest Ways To Wean Off Clonazepam

My sister s doc diagnosed her with Destonia and prescribed Clonazepam for the muscle spasms. She is not having seizures, just neck spams. She is taking .0.5, 3x a day. She is so much worse. How do we get her off of this medication. Doc dropped her because she would not take the anti-depressants too.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

She can gradually taper the dose. She can adjust the dose to twice daily and then wean off.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
