Hi! 🙂
Thanks for messaging me.
I was on 4 mg a day!!! Woe,eh? Big time panic attacks and HIGH ANXIETY. I was @6 mg's a day. Incredible , now on 3 mg.'s a day.
I have been on it so long, 15 years that they are, were, weaning me down slowly. But this experience I had to go cold turkey, practically. It was the worst. Don't know how I survived. So bad. Now I got a normal prescription, but only going up half of what is prescribed. Don't want that to ever happen again. I know I should talk to my Psychiatrist. She was of no help. Rude to me. No heart. She is new to me. So I am reaching out here. I am still having a withdrawal symptom. Klopipin was my Life saver. No panic attacks! Man, that was nice. Now, after a week or more of withdrawls,, I am done. But now, I have to keep taking minimal a.ount to keep this Weird noise in my ears, loudly, after exerting any energy. My heart is racing so much I can heart it thumping in my ears and then comes a huge headache. N I w that I wrote this out, sounds not so good, huh? I will just bump my mg.'s up more toward my regular prescription. I am chatty about all this. This is oy 2nd time on here. Well thank you and you take care!

Getting off Klonopin for as high a dose as you were on for so long is going to be really tough unfortunately and will probably take quite some time. I feel for you as I went through this only on a much smaller scale and it’s sheer hell but I am now drug free and feel so much better and am sleeping so much better. I would go to an addiction center for help if I were you because I think you will need support to be successful. Exercise, meditation, and healthy eating are a plus during this difficult time. You tube has some great videos and help from people who quit as well. Shame on whatever doctor let you stay on Klonopin for so long!
Good luck to you. Stay strong and just try your hardest to power through day by day. It is worth it in the long run.❤️

HI Lisalynn,
Why do you want to get off the Klonopin if it was helping you? Why can't you stay on
it but go down in the milligrams, I think you would feel a lot better.
Let me no what you decide to do. I am here for you.
