My Daughter Is Disable And Has Been Taking Clonipin -
My daughter is disable and has been taking clonipin - 1 mg twice a day - to help with anxiety caused by a reduction of celexa from 40 to 20 mg as well as taking trazadone for sleep. We increased the celexa back to 40 mg and the doctor suggested a taper of the clonipin - .5 mg twice a day for 5 days, then .5 mg once a day for 5 days. Is the taper too fast, especially because our daughter doesn't communicate how she is feeling except by observation of her behavior.
