Thank you. I needed to hear that. My psychiatrist is suddenly speeding up the taper despite my request to keep it as is (6-8 weeks then decrease). This is because I am turning 65 in a few weeks and their practice does not see any patients after age 65. His "goal" is to have me completely off Klonopin by my birthday because he doesn't want to prescribe any medication after he discharges me. I'm on week 5 at .25mg and had planned to do that another week or two, then go to .0125mg for a month or 6 weeks and off. Because of this push, I have felt more anxiety and had more trouble sleeping. It is the end of Klonopin but also the end of a one year relationship and psychoanalysis with this doctor. I don't think he will prescribe more than 2 more weeks. So I am feeling a bit frustrated. I am trying to be strong. Nothing lasts forever.
