Hi,
I am so sorry to hear that you are having such problems.

I went through the same thing about 3 months ago including a new doctor. She told me that if I continued to be on Klonopin, I had to see her monthly for a perscription. This was upsetting to me because I don't want to drive up my medical costs, and told her so. She stated that, " this is my practice " Anyone else have this situation?

I had been on Klonopin for 16 yrs. Over that time I was increased to 2 mgm. Before I started her weaning schedule, I looked it up online. Found the longer you have been on it the slower you go. Pharmacy agreed. started out by decreasing to 0.25 x 1 wk and 0.50 the next and so on Took me a month plus to get completely. I can understand the anxiety. Now I do not sleep well anymore.
Good luck to you. Change doctors if she is not willing to work with you. You know your body and emotions better than the doctor.

That seems like a fast taper, I know I don't want to taper that quickly! How are you feeling? Did you have anxiety while tapering?
Thanks
