I was on klonopin for the past two years after my dad died. I've now been taken off of it and I'm taking mirtazapine at bedtime. Withdrawal from klonopin has been terrible!! Today I can barely sit up my head feels so heavy and my brain is pounding. Can't sleep. Severe restless legs. Can't eat. Can barely drink. Can't even consider leaving the house and driving anywhere.
If anyone has anything they might have tried that helped them I'd be very interested to hear about it.
Coming off of any mind altering drug takes time and takes a healing process to occur.
The fact that you were switched to yet another drug can be giving you some of these
symptoms as your brain adjusts to the change.
Please have your doctor address these issues. That in itself may give you some peace
of mind in knowing that these issues are temporary and will go away. I wish you well

You should never just be completely taken off any medication....especially when you've been on it for a long time...ask your doctor to taper you off
they cut people off, cold blooded turkey and couldn’t care less in jail / prison. boom done. that should be criminal
What's even more scary is when a known sociopath/schizophrenic chooses not to take his meds for a month and you not only watch them hit someone so hard with their tablet and you get assaulted because they had a break. Unfortunately both are very bad situations
I’ve been on Klonopin for many years. It helps me with my anxiety and with being able to fall asleep at night. One time I ran out of them and my pharmacy said that they could not give me a refill right away. I went off them Cold Turkey and was very sick. 🤢. A friend of mine had to drive me to the drugstore for the refill. It took around a week for my mind to feel readjusted. Your mind and body can feel negatively impacted going on and off psychotropic meds.
I’ve gone off cold turkey twice maybe more but it feels better as the days go on. We are here for you to listen and support you.
I went through a deeper mess after tapering and withdrawing clonazepam about a year back. Developed unbearable, acute anxiety with horrible symptoms. So changed psychiatrist and restarted 2mg per day, about a year ago. Now with proper and better guidance tapered and reduced @ 0.25mg per month and now down to 0.75mg at night. Not able to reduce further. Doctor has understood this and asked me to continue with this dosage. Clonazepam is the MOST DIFFICULT BENZO to withdraw and so u need to work very closely with ur psychiatrist. Please don't do anything by yourself. So please seriously consider restarting clonazepam and get under the guidance of a psychiatrist who understands clonazepam dependence, both physiologically & psychologically. Please take immediate care. God bless.
Hello, first off I am not a professional. I am a peer member. Very sorry that you are suffering like this and for the loss of your dad. I have had many of the symptoms you describe. I was diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression Disorder in 1997. This started my journey with medications. Part of my medications is the use of Klonipin for panic attack and antidepressants. I was taking Klonipin 1 mg twice a day. Just started to let go of Klonipin 1 mg The side effects for me is shaking and trembling of my hands. Back to you...very concerned you are getting the best treatment from doctors. If you only seeing a primary..you need to see specialist doctors for these symptoms. No one should suffer like this. Since you are dealing with grief. ... the help of a bervement group or therapist would be beneficial for you. You would not be alone. Lastly, many of the symptoms you describe would not be related to Klonipin withdrawal. I am very very concerned about your suffering. Please seek additional treatments. You are worth this and deserve more help. God Bless You. I will be praying for you.
Sorry you are suffering. I've been on klonopin for 20 yearsBeen weaned off many times. The affects are hideous. Even been hospitalized to get off it. No luck. It does work though. So I know what you are going through. I will take it for life. There is no other option for some of us.
My advice is wrote down everything how your feeling. Everyone reacts differently to medication.
The one thing I suggest is relaxation, try Epsom salts in a bath. Nice milky drink at night. Relax no phones. Avoid stress much has possible. Easier said than done I know. Meditation on you tube you helps me relax my mind. I like rain sounds, or beach waves. All this might sound corny but they do help.
Address what may be causing your problems if your area is anything like mine getting help is difficult. So try self councilling.
Please do not stay on medication that you feel is doing more harm than good. But also remember these pills are not a instant fix.
I wish you well
Did they suddenly take you off it without weaning you off? That should NEVER be done with antidepressants or anxiolytics. Reach out to your doctor immediately and see if you can either go back on it and wean down slowly or be given a midpoint dose to see if you can even out on that before weaning down the rest of the way.
Low and slow should always be the way to get off of these medications, but far too many doctors are either unaware of or unconcerned with withdrawal and how this affects users. 
Hang in there, but be insistent that s/he needs to do something to help you during this process.
