I have been on klonopin for approx 16 years for a neurological condition Dystonia. I decided to try to go off of it this year and it been beyond horrible. I decided to go back on a couple of weeks ago because I realized it was helping my condition but I can’t seem to get reestablished. Had to go to the hospital over the weekend Cedar sani medical center in Los Angeles. All this time I’ve only been on.5 I’m jittery wobbly no appetite. Any suggestions.

Hi, @vickyann, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry your experience going off Klonopin has been beyond horrible and you ended up having to go to the hospital.

I'd suggest you might want to look through this Connect discussion specifically on Klonopin Withdrawal and perhaps post there, if you'd like: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/klonopin-taper/bookmark/?ajax_hook=action&_wpnonce=dcf1f5dbae
