Last night, as indicted in previous entry, I drew out one
teaspoon from my .25 liquid dose of klonopin.
That’s from a 1/4 cup of water.
One teaspoon is 1/12 of a quarter cup.
So I am down 1/24 of the whole .5 dose.

I have only done this one day. I will do it for five. So this coming Thursday, I will reduce 1/12
yet again, taking me overall down 2/12.
That would be 2/24 of the whole .5.

I expect that my Thursday I will be feeling more concretely
the nature of this change; as it is, for the moment, I seem to be dreaming more
or least having more memory of dreams.

This is a Sunday.
Spoke with Brothers and Brian on the web. Dave’s sciatic nerve problem is acting up
again. Steve posted on FB this week that
he feels as if he is living in hell or maybe not living at all.

Friday night I began my taper from .5 mg of klonopin.

I cut my .5 mg pill in half with my trusty pill cutter, producing two .25 mg pills.

I then put one of my new dis-solvable .25 pills in a cup of water.

I let the pill dissolve and then washed down the .25 I had made with the trusty pill cutter.

So that equals .5 mg total. So no reduction in amount, no taper.

Still, sadly, the next morning I was tense and agitated. So while the amunt did not change, the
means of ingesting the filthy med did and that in turn effected my mood.

Last night I continued the taper but decided a whole cup of water was too much for my bladder. So
instead I dissolved the .25 in a 1/4 cup of water.

I slept almost through the night with that dose…unusual for me, and feel calmer.

So here is the plan or drug schedule as we druggies say.

1/4 cup of water contains 12 teaspoons.

I plan to get things down to .25 over two months. I will reduce the amount in the cup by one teaspoon every five days or so.

Today I will begin by pulling one teaspoon out of the cup. Then we will see what we will see.
