I really feel for you - I've been on klonopin for about 25 years, maybe more and my Psychiatrist is taking me off of it. I first started out with 2 mg. then he lowered it to 1.5. Last week he took me down from three pills a day to two a day. Thank the good LORD I haven't experienced any withdrawal symptoms yet - but worry about what is to come. I'm 72 years old - I could strangle my psychiatrists for putting me on it to begin with - it's a good drug for short term, but I don't think it's good for long term, especially at our age. Thanks for the tip on drugs to help to get off of it -- I might need them in the near future. I believe I read somewhere that the state of Georgia is banning pharmacies from dispensing it -- don't quote me on that, I know I read someplace where some state has a ban on it. Good for them! I wish I could recall the name of the state but I'm certain it's Georgia. Good luck to you - if your psychiatrist isn't helping you much - find another one that will.
