I've just accepted that.Thanks for your sharing your experience.Ive thought of getting down to .25mg,and staying there for a few months.My pdoc did suggest going every other day, then every few nights.I will also have to accept some change in sleep,perhaps.I think I may also eventually get to as needed.A quarter of a 15mg Remeron will get me to sleep even better than klonopin, however, it doesnt work if I use it often.May try melatonin too.The main issue I have w/tapering is the extreme dizziness,but will try going very slow.I wonder if dramamine might keep the dizziness at bay?
