Anyone had issues while tapering off of 1mg clonazepam (Klonopin)?

I began tapering off 1 mg clonazepam in September. I have been doing well. My symptoms were manageable. I am now completely off. I have begun having withdrawal symptoms. Shaking and jerking movements, horrible tinitis, blurred vision. I feel like I’m in a funhouse. Vertigo, it feels like the ground is tilting, flu like symptoms. I went to the ER a week ago because I convinced myself I was dying. Was tested for flu and covid. Both negative. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how long did this last?

Good Luck, My new primary dr cut me off pretty much cold turkey from 3 mg a day,It has been a detox from hell,6 months later ,im still not normal, I thought it was unethical to put me thru this hell, Good Luck, you might need it, Jumping of benzos, is the worst

You don’t say how long you were on this. It sounds like you went way too fast, which is why you’re having so many problems, unfortunately. 5 to 10% a month should’ve been all you were taking off of this. I was on 1mg benzo for only four months because I couldn’t get help. Finally got help. Did a water taper, from some help on a benzo website on FB. Has taken me nine months and I’ve had no problems at all. If you need help, I suggest you get on.FB on BeatingBenzos . There are so many people on there that have had problems with these benzos and can help you out a lot.
