Weaning off Clonazapam with Pregabalin...Safe? Worthwhile?
Posted: Tue May 31, 2022 5:07 pm
Hello. I'm attempting to wean off of Clonazapam. I've been taking it for over 22 years and it works most of the time, but it's not showing up in urine tests, which is becoming a problem. My sleep doc prefers pregabalin for restless leg, so I thought I'd give it a try. I began a weaning schedule a couple nights ago. I took 75mg of pregabalin, .5mg of Clonazapam, and .125mg of Mirapex. The first night was okay...felt really drugged up, but the second night was awful. My heart was racing and I couldn't breathe, even with my CPAP. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to switch to pregabalin. Any advice? Thank You!
