If this old lady who took clonazapam for decades can wean off it, so can you!💫
I was prescribed 4 tablets a day as needed for a head tremor. I became dependent on this drug. I would not go to any meeting or social event without taking it!
Today I am happy to tell you that with the help of a wonderful neurologist I am now taking one Clonazapam per day(1/2 tablet in the a.m. ;1/2 in the afternoon). Goal: NO Clonazapam in the future. I also take 1 Escitalopram a day.
This wonderful doctor also suggested today that I see a psychiatrist (for anxiety or other issues that I might want to discuss: ah! Yes! Talk therapy is important and minimizes the stress, the anxiety that we do feel and need to express.
I am so thankful for this doctor, for this Mayo Clinic Connect: we are not alone! Thank you for sharing your stories. They helped me to carry on, to be strong.
Never give up.
