I want to know too. How did you wean of the Clonazepan? How long did it take to get off that poison pill? They should be taking off the shelf. Too dangerous. Benzodiazepines are very addicting as you probably know. I’m on a half mg in the morning and 1 mg at 4:00.
I went to the hospital for 20 days for an unrelated reason and since they lost my med list they went by my 3 year old chart and I wasn’t on klonopin then so the abruptly stopped the klonopin “cold turkey. They wouldn’t give it to me.
Do you know that a person can actually die from an instant you start with the horrible withdrawal symptoms? It’s dangerous, very dangerous. Your not supposed to take it more than 14 days at a time for a few weeks and I’ve been on it for about 2 years. So how did you wean off?

I'm going cold turkey off Benjos--was cut off abruptly, but for some reason, my doctor oferred to write me a prescription for Zolpidan/Ambien. I wanted to accept the prescription, but declined because my goal it to live without Benjos or other tranquilizers, which were giving me a difficult enough problem. What is wrong with doctors these days? I'm beginning to mistrust all of them. I thought they had stopped getting kick-backs from pharmaceutical sales persons. My goal is to live out my days drug-free and face my problems head on without masking my emotions and feelings with drugs--prescription or otherwise. I'd appreciate how others feel about this.
