Not sure if this is the best forum. A relative was put on klonopin for sleep issues, his dr. thought there might be mild anxiety and is now having trouble weaning off it. He was on a very small dose to begin with, 0.5 mg. Before starting he was sleeping not so deeply, subject to hearing any sounds (not an issue during the day). But he was sleeping. Now he's trying to wean off the pill, taking maybe half and is sleeping very poorly and very lightly.
He really would prefer not to take any meds but is this normal for getting off klonopin? He wasn't on a full dose for more than a month or two to start.
TIA.
