Wow! I am so sorry to hear that you have to go through all of that needless pain and trauma. What I mean by needless is with medication you could be functioning. You need to find a neurologist. On my very first visit he ask me why I wanted off of them and I told him my previous family Dr did not want to prescribe them anymore. So it was my decision to either try another route,Gabapentin, or go back on klonopin after I had weaned myself down to 1/2 of a .05. So when I tried the klonopin with my other sleep aid I took before it kept me wake. So now I take klonopin with Gabapentin. It works well for me. I feel normal, finally! As far as withdrawals, everyone is different but expect it to last for 6months to a year. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏. I'm so very sorry that you are suffering 😢

Thank you for your reply, Kitty. It's the type of support I need right now. As I said, I've been through some tough times. We all have. But sometimes a message from somebody who understands is enough to keep one striving. After all, that's what being human is all about. No quick fixes. I'm not broken. I know that there's a light that will at least show me the way. I'm grateful for your guidance.
