Protracted Benzo withdrawal

In my case my tapering after 30+ years of 6mgs of Clonazepam daily, was suggested by my GP. After ending up in the hospital twice, because I was such a wreck, he still wants to try it again! so I asked to have a referral to a psychiatrist, to help me understand why 3 of us siblings suffer the same symptoms, only they are not being pressured into a taper. He did not even give me a reply to my request! So now I feel like I do not have a choice, but I know I could not go through this again!

That is quite a predicament. Just wondering, @lorraine59, have you tried tapering off Clonazepam by using an antidepressant? Many people on Connect have spoken about that. Also, can you make an appointment with a psychiatrist without your GP's referral?
