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

Hello, I weaned off Klonopin after taking it for only 2 months and the doctor had me take nearly a month to do it. After 10 years I would think you need much more time than that. I am so sorry you have to go through this. The last week after the wean I was so anxious I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. But if you just power through and hold on for dear life it eventually gets better. It may take quite some time for you though. I do take L-Theanine for sleep for about a year now and have not noticed any ill effects although I don’t sleep great. It is supposed to restore a sense of calm. It is a substance that is found naturally in green tea. I also tried to take a walk every day and meditate to help the process along. You can do it! We are strong people and in the end, you will be stronger for it! I would suggest a new doctor to guide you on this path. 2 weeks is way too short.
