Your Doctor did the right thing by putting you back on Clonazepam, Valium is the same drug as Diazepam. Fortunately you only stopped for 5 days, I stopped for 9 months before I realized .05MG Clonazepam is the incorrect dose to taper off 6MG of Lorazepam. Go on line and look up the ASHTON MANUAL and read it. You need to be as knowledgeable as possible. There are very few Doctors or Psychiatrists who know about tapering off Benzodiazepines. You need to take control and research. I have said this many times "you need to be in control" no one knows how you feel and do not understand or know about BENZODIAZEPINES.

One other thing I did not mention, when I stopped Clonazepam I got burning mouth syndrome. dry eye, dry mouth, and my gums had receded, this all happened within one week of stopping the Clonazepam. I was taking the ODT, (oral disentagrating tablets) and I am almost positive that is what made my whole SALIVA system go awry.
