cking56 - You are amazing and so helpful with the information you provide on this topic. I wish you and Andy and others success in getting off this medicine.
After stopping cold turkey (last dose March 3rd) I still am having subtle withdrawal symptoms but I read these could last many months when stopped as I did. In my case the tremors/body buzzing/ eye twitching had already started after being on the medicine for just a short time (6 weeks or so) which prompted me to just stop. It's really interesting how this medicine affects everyone so differently.
BTW, I did have first appointment with Sleep Disorder doctor (also a Neurolgist as well) last week and she was surprised last guy put me on this medicine based upon my sleep issues/tests that I brought along. She did say, they do occasionaly prescribe Klonopin but only in certain patients (I didn't ask for details) but that I would not have been in that category. It also amazes me at how physicians see things differently as well.
Thanks again for providing knowledge to those in need!
