Anxiety pain

I've had anxiety for about 4 years now. I've recently came down from 3mg of klonopin to 2. I have pain in my ribs, my back, and terrible anxiety. What should I do. The pain is worse and all I want to do is cry. Appreciate any help

If it makes you feel better I have the same pains. Its in my back it wraps around into my chest and into my ribs. I have had it checked out by doctors and even at the Er. It honestly scares the sh*t out of me. I myself am on klonopin 0.5 mg twice a day. I have only been on klonopin for a little over a month. It does help but its still up to me to make myself better. Plus I dwell on the pain I get which I think makes it worse to be honest.

My problem is I'm scared of the anxiety which makes it worse. Lowering the klonopin made it worse. I'll never get better.

Hi puppy11, first of all, you will get better and better. Congratulations on your doctor cutting you down from 3 to 2 mg of Klonopin. You are going through a transition period and your body is telling you it doesn't like it. It's saying "how dare you cut off my drug supply". Believe me puppy this will be the best thing for you in the long run. You will have to contend with the anxiety symptoms being around for a while until your brain heals. Then like Rissa said, it will be up to you to make yourself better. Do whatever it takes, from therapy to using other tools to give you that calm that your body got use to. This is just a little bump in the road, further down the road it's smooth. You will feel more clear headed and be able to get back on track again. Use the forum for support while going through weaning off the med.

Good Luck x

Thank you. But all I'm doing is crying, shaking, feeling scared. I'm scared ll never get off meds, I can't calm myself because I'm afraid of the anxiety and that makes it worse. I'm so scared.

I'm always feeling scared and wanting to cry. What do I do? I've been on meds for. 3 years. Recently cur klonopin from 3mg to 2.5mg. I'm just not getting better.
