I am having a VERY difficult time with Klonipin withdrawal

I used gabapentin to help withdrawal symptoms after 15 yrs of use. 1.5 yrs later I am off klonopin. I needed medication to help with withdrawal. It helps but has new set of side effects. Maybe u can telehealth with addiction medicine dr or work with primary for medical help. It is not easy, but you can do it if I can.

My GP stated that he doesn't normally prescribe benzos and said that he doesn't know how to help me to wean me off of benzos. I told him that I could provide him with the Ashton guide and he seemed uninterested as he is overwhelmed with regular patients.
Here's my backstory: I was prescribed klonopin back in 2002 and lived near Washington D.C. so there was no shortage of help. But, here in the Panhandle of Florida the doctors are scarce as this is a small town. So I don't know who to turn to.
