Withdrawing from Klonopin

[Elizabeth04]

I remember my doctor looking me on the eyes and telling me that it is okay to take klonopin 3 times a day.

He wanted me to take .5mg of klonooin three times a day for a year, to let my anxiety "calm down" smh. Thank God I didn't listen. At one point I did do the 3 times a day but it was only for a short time.. I was trying to do anything to help me. I did klonopin. 5mg twice a day for about 6 months or so.. but I had been on the klonopin in general for about a year if that makes sense.

Man. I wish I could go back. YES it absolutely helped me, but I can't believe I was prescribed this as a daily medication. I'm so mad.

I'm finally down to .25mg once a day from the .5mg twice a day I was taking. I think I'm gonna stay at this dose until I stop feeling the weird feelings.

I've been having random numbness and burning in my face, tingling down my arm and my hand, headaches, unsteadiness, dizzyness, and I kinda feel not all with it in my head.

This all makes me so so mad like I'm pretty sure this whole past year I was just fighting against this klonopin. Which was making my anxiety and everything worse. I had never taken anything besides the occasional Tylenol before this.I think if when I went to my doctor a year ago telling him about my problems and he would have just told me to eat right... exercise... meditate.. and IF you are in the middle of a panic attack and CAN'T control yourself etc... THEN take a HALF of the klonopin..... things would have been so different and I wouldn't have a million hospital bjlls

But NO, here I am. I'm not saying it didn't help me, but this should have been treated a lot differently.

And btw. I don't like these "suggested tags" down here.. it's suggesting "heart failure"

I don't have heart failure and these thingz could make someone with health anxiety worse.

Ugh sorry y'all . I'm done with my rant lol
