Klonopin is what started my anxiety disorder. I was given it for sleep. It was great at first. Then i started having inter-dose withdrawals. Yep, withdrawals in between my doses! Getting off the poison was hell!

I'm sorry you're experiencing this!

How did you do it?

First I had no idea what was wrong with me. When i got suspicious of the benzos I found a support forum online. I got information on withdrawals, ideas from others how to cope and wonderful support.

Its very hard. Realizing its withdrawal and not that you're sick or going crazy is half the battle.

Good luck, remember it will not kill you even though sometimes it feels lile it!

Very few doctors believe in long withdrawals if they believe you at all. Just do not let them treat you with another benzo. They did me, Ativan. That only made things worse.

I'm having the same problem. I've been on klonopin for 5 years and it worked in the beginning. Doctor took it down from 3mg to 2mg over a 6 month period. He just took it down 1/4 mg and I can't stop feeling fear, thoughts, and can't stop crying.
