Benzo withdrawl w/ other complications

Posted by linalamont @linalamont, Nov 10, 2022

I'm trying to taper on my own from clonazepam after 18yrs of prescription for PTSD and Anxiety. My psych prescribed Buspar to help and after increasing the dose from 10mg-15mg, I had a pretty severe adverse reaction. I also started having tolerance withdrawal symptoms from .0375mg of daily clonazepam. I have specialists who have confirmed these diagnoses along with neuro confirming severe photosensitivity, cluster migraines and seizures. However, no-one is giving me a plan or direction of what to do next. Perhaps I'm a liability? I'm obviously at the point of needing to be medically monitored and stabilized. I need some help and can't get it. The system is too overloaded. I have no history of drug seeking or prior hospitalization for drug abuse or mental illness.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions?

Can be you get back with your doctor and tell her there was a misunderstanding? You refuse to cold turkey your medication? You’ve got to get this figured out quickly.
