I have been in Clonazepam 0.5mg TID for 18 years
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (31)Comment receiving replies
I have been on clonazepam for 30 plus years and never increased the dosage. Being retired I thought it would be a good idea to taper off and eventually stop taking it altogether. When I had my yearly physical I told her it was very difficult and affecting my quality of life.
She looked at me and said it was my idea to get off it. Her comment was that since I never increased my dosage for all those years there was no reason to eliminate it.
I exercise 5-6 days a week and just had a stress test in which I did extremely well.
At the age of 73 she said if it’s not broke don’t fix it.
Just a thought.

Right, if it's not broke. Why won't your Dr. Reinstate it? Dr's. Don't like to start someone on these
But with 30 years on it they should restart it for you
I was taken off 2mg after 15 years. 6 days and they stopped it. 5 years later even after restarting it I still have tremors and balance issues. I was like you, just stop it. HUGE MISTAKE. My issues are now permanent. I take more pills now than before. But I was reinstated 4 weeks later, too late for me. Now I would try a telecom and explain your problem. They might help
