goldengirl1952,
Why do you want to get off klonopin if it has helped you
all these years?
I have been on it for many years due to my Essential Tremor and it
helps me sleep. I feel very normal on it. I will stay on it till I die. It is
the quality of life not the quantity.

This drug was dangerous for me and frankly caused my tremors. I never had any tremors until Sleep Doctor prescribed this crap medicine. My regular doctor was shocked that he gave it to me and said he would NEVER EVER prescribe that drug. I have been off for 4 weeks now and glad to be done with it.

...good point you make but for me it was a doctor wanted me off and fast, new one at clinic.....to take last five pills and no more after 15 or so years! then my gp left and i had no doctor so went to clinic and emerge and was treated like a drug seeker.... woman dr even called me that... so here i am addicted to a drug no one told me would be so awful going off it .... the doctors here in Canada want people off them but provide no help quitting etc ... when i went into withdrawal, little old lady me, i felt like going downtown and trying to buy some thats how bad it was: i do not abuse meds but was treated like a drug addict when trying to get them with no doctor! unbelievable i found myself in that predicament!
