Yes,I know it. It takes time- up to 8 weeks to feel better

This is common situation… Doctors had good intentions but there is very high price to pay.
I had no clue what it will be stop taking it.
The doctor who asked me to stop taking it after last 2 weeks did not tell me about withdrawal symptoms.

Thank you. I am glad you feel better. You did the right thing by weaning of medication slowly. I have such a mixed feelings about this new doctor and expecting me t quit taking Klonopin after just 2 weeks. I think she really has no clue what is proper protocol to follow.
I am grateful for your support

I am going to see highly recommended psychiatrist who listens to their patients. I will be careful.
You are right about individual experiences.
Thank you again.

You are right about new doctor and reality of present medicine.
People are dying because of this new trend too.
I am going to talk tomorrow to new doctor and we will see but I don’t expect anything major. Maybe she will surprise me.
I enjoy our conversation and sharing.

Thanks For your reply. My Dr has been giving me .5 mg twice a day for the last 8-10 years. Went to Dr Yesterday for refills on clonapin for next month. He said he won't refill this anymore. Just like that. So I asked for 1 months worth till I can figure something out. He told me to go to another type of Dr. I have 5 Left. I know the withdrawal on this type of medication. Been through it. So now I have to take 2.5 mg a day I guess and spread it out over 10 12 days. It can't be done, I'm 72. BIG TOM

Reading all this…my nephew has anxiety and sleep issues. His sleep therapist is having him do genetic testing ti determine the best meds for him.

My brother was on K for 8 years and had a very, very difficult time weaning off of it. It was a tough journey, but he eventually succeeded. Of course, he was under the care of his physician. I mention this to let you know it is possible. Good luck.

My taper off clonazepam was in 2018. It took over 7 months and was under the supervision of my primary care provider and neurologist. It was successful. Perhaps you could reach out for a reassessment The time that was given to you may not be compatible with your body. I had no withdrawal symptoms but was afraid. I had a seizure risk from a craniotomy done in 2014.My cognitive abilities improved my critical thinking skills improved during the taper. I have no regrets other than being prescribed it in the first place.
