I take Xanax for mine. It helps a lot but can be addictive.

Maybe you should keep taking your meds and if you really want off, you should probably taper. Talk to your doctor. Some meds are not good to quit cold turkey. your symptoms sometimes gets worse since your body is used to the medication. If they were not working and that's why you stopped, Maybe you need to adjust your dosage. However

Go see your doctor and discuss this with him.

I saw a couple of days ago that you said you were sick... Your slight fever could just be from that. My advice is to not just stop a medication especially meds that are dealing with anxiety ... Just from personal experience it's best to slowly reduce your dosage.

Try not over think it too much, just take your medication and take a bath or draw something get your mind off of how your feeling !

Hope you feel better :)

klonopin is a benzo and should be tapered off not cold turky especially if you have been taking it for over 3 months.

I was taking it on and off for 2.5 or 3 months. I started taking 1 mg at bedtime on some nights to help me sleep better. Yesterday was bad. I stopped taking klonopin for 4 days and I suddenly started feeling warm and feeling all disoriented. Also, I felt like My mind was racing and I had a bad state of mind. My psychiatrist called me and told me to take 0.5 mg of the klonopin. I'm going to take 0.5 in the morning and 0.5 at night for a few nights then switch to 0.25 in theevening. it was hell yesterday.
