Starting Klonopin Taper, Scared of the Horror Stories

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. 😔😔

@sears be sure to start your taper with a doctor visit! Preferably a psychiatrist. Tell them you are very nervous about doing this and will need a lot of guidance and support. You will find you either need to be on it or you will be off it and both outcomes are ok. The important thing is that *you are ok

Hi, @sears - if you've not already, you might look at this thread on going off alprazolam (Xanax) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/going-off-of-xanax/
