Believe me,I understand. It i stuff. ,whatever form it takes,all that. I recently stopped klonipin after about 10years. I know you are leery of taking other meds, but so far I've tried neurontin and lopressor to help, and Robaxin for the muscle tightness,it really works.
I use a noise maker and an air purifier for background noise.
They say there's a reversal drug called Flumazenil, it is an antibenzo benzo. Returns your chemistry in your brain to right,but it has to be done in a hospital by titrated IV.
Hope you're doing well

Hi, @creatineboy thanks for sharing the medications that are helping you and your empathy for others tapering off of benzodiazepines.

You mentioned going off of clonazepam (Klonopin) recently after taking it for 10 years. Mayo Clinic Connect also has a thread specifically on tapering off of clonazepam (Klonopin) that you might be interested in reading and participating in. I'm sure there are many there who might benefit from hearing about what you experienced. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/klonopin-taper

Has anyone had experience with Flumazenil?
