Good for you AxtonW55....I'm behind you.

After years of being on the smallest dosage of Xanax once a day, I wondered

as well if it were more of a routine than an addiction. I'm happy to have you

Good for you! Getting off clonazepam was the best thing I have ever done. You got this!

I once not by choice had to go cold turkey off Klonopin. I thought that I was going to lose my mind. I take 1 MG of Klonopin to help me go to sleep. I’m allowed to take an extra half if I’m having an extremely anxious day. I have ADHD and meditation does not help me.

Yikes!! That's horrible. We need to remind people that's not the way to go :(

I tapered off of some of my dose very slowly and that was a nightmare!

I once stopped Paxil without tapering, i ended up missing 2 weeks of work & right back on the Paxil.
