I have been taking clonazapam 1 mg. daily for years. Withdrawal includes despair & very dark thoughts. Need help

Are you tapering? Did you cold turkey? Do you have a doctor?

I do. I haven’t actually tried very hard. What concerns me is that I wake-up in a state of despair after I haven’t taken any in about 10-12 hours. So it feels scarey to try. I really want to though.

You’re still on your regular dose? You’re not tapering?
