@sears Confused. Are you a nervous wreck as to whether discontinuing klonopin is necessary for you or the tapering? I know there are now concerns about we older folks taking benzos. I had taken klonopin for several years and started having macabre thoughts. Had no idea this could be the problem for me. I was switched to Valium and started having the same issues.
My input when it comes to these type of meds-if it is not broke why fix it?? I am by no means against people using them. They had reached a point it was doing more harm than good. We are all wired differently.
I am sorry for your angst and hope things get settled down for you. I say do what is right for you.

Thank you. I’m going to taper. Yes it does cause me angst not knowing what the future holds. During the taper and what will I do about my anxiety after the taper. I’m 67 and have had issues with overwhelming anxiety since I was a baby. I cried for two years non-stop. My poor mother took me to so many doctors! Yes I’m very worried. BTW it is Xanax not Klonopin. Yes Xanax the worst one. The one my physchiatrist and internist said I would never have a problem with. 😔😔
