Clonazepam is just the generic form of Klonopin. I don't understand why the Dr would've switched you to the same thing. I've been taking Xanax unprescribed for about 10 years and I only take about 3 mgs at a time and still have withdrawal when I try to taper myself off. These Drs are over prescribing benzos. But I can't get a Rx for my anxiety and panic attacks because I had an addiction to pain meds over 20 years ago. Very sad for people that need benzos and can't get them
