I now am suffering only mild symtoms, but am feeling anxiety, and heart palpitations, and afraid of going outside! But I know my next taper (which is a week away) a whole new set of issues! This fear that comes will prevent me from working, which it has in done in the past. The thought of sitting on my sofa and trembling so bad,not being able to concentrate, heart racing, I feel that my life has no meaning if I have to suffer so severely, what is the point of my livingÉ

Hi, @lorraine59 – I appreciate the update about the mild symptoms you are experiencing now, while anticipating a lot of fear and physical symptoms with the taper your doctor has scheduled for you. I’m so sorry you are going through this, and I hope you find Connect a safe place to talk, even about the tough stuff. It’s important to know you are not alone and that the Connect community is here for you.
If at any point you start to feel like you may consider hurting yourself, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline https://988lifeline.org for immediate help. Your safety is the most important thing to us. Needing to talk to a professional doesn’t show weakness, it shows strength.
I’d be interested in hearing how your appointment goes today. What are you considering saying to him about the anxiousness you are experiencing with starting a clonazepam taper again?
