Klonopin: I'm so afraid I won't be able to... - Anxiety Support
Klonopin
I personally have not been on klonopin, but i do know that you will be able to come off it no bother. If you gradually lower your dosage your body will slowly become used to the changes and not become sick or have any urges that comes with addiction.
If you still have anxiety then the klonopin clearly isnt working. But what i do think is that you are constantly worrying and thinking about the medication and if its working and what if its not etc, and thats causing alot of stress and worry, therefore causing more anxiety.
If its possible for you, try do a few activities a day where you know you feel relaxed and forget about how you feel. Then after, think about whether you felt anxious or not.
I do have anxiety worse when I cut the klonopin by 1/2 pill. I had anxiety before I cut back on the pills
No I'm scared of the anxiety and fear which keeps it going.
I'm scared to take the pills but anxiety is so bad I don't have a choice.
But I still have anxiety because of my thoughts of being afraid of it I'm so scared of the anxiety
Thank my problem is Ihave fear of the fear
I tapered off Xanax in a month and it's supposedly worse than klonopins. If you do it right all that will happen is some upped anxiety which I'm sure you've dealt with in the past. Don't read the online horror stories that's not how it is for most.
Hi LDS32. I am just curious of why you wanted to stop taking the Xanax, if you don't mind letting me know.
I'm on klonopin and my anxiety is still bad. My family doesn't want me on them. I cut it down by 1/2 pill and my anxiety and fear is worse. My bladder is bothering me too which usually happens when my anxiety is bad. So I'm scared because. Still have anxiety and I'm scared of it.
The problem is I'm scared of anxiety and panic. That's why it's hard getting off because and fear get worse.
I am on klonopin now and I take it twice a day.. I have been on the lowest dose for about 2 maybe 3 months I would say. It keeps the panic attacks away but the anxiety is still there. But its also what you tell yourself each and every day. Its hard. I still at times feel like I'm going to hit the floor because my anxiety is so bad because I talk myself into things. I also get a lot of pains in my back and chest because I am so anxious. I go out and do things and I seem to be fine when my mind is distracted from it all. But when I have down time with myself which should be relaxing to some. My mind goes crazy at times. I literally talk myself into thinking something is wrong. I am going to counseling. But at the end of the day it is all up to you and what you tell yourself. The drug we are taking is supposed to keep us calm.. Doesn't make everything go away. I am also worried for the future because one day I will have to take the step into getting off the pills. But that's the choice I made when I started taking them. Everyone needs a little help at times.
Exactly my struggle!
That's like my problem. I'm scared of the anxiety and panic. I have anxiety bad
