I don't know if you've actually started your newly prescribed Buspirone yet or if it's not helping yet?? If you came off of any amount of klonopin quickly, especially 6mg daily, I would think is why you are experiencing such intense anxiety right now. Your body becomes dependent on this medication after only a short period of time. You definitely need to discuss with your physician and hopefully he will understand what you are dealing with. Unfortunately, I really believe many docs don't understand the issues this medicine can create or the importance of taper over considerable time. If he's the same doc who had you on that klonopin, you may want to seek out another physician who understands this situation better. I would be truly upset with any physiucian who gave me this stuff. The sleep doc who gave this to me and I had words after he disregarded the issues it created for me, and I was on a very small dose. Your body is going to need a period of time to adjust but hopefully another medicine can help with your anxiety in the interim. Praying for you!
