I was on 0.5 mg Klonopin for about 10 yrs. Going through withdrawal

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.

Thank you so much for your response.
Today is day 9 after I stopped taking Klonopin and anxiety is touch better. Other symptoms seem to be a little better. I take LTheanine with magnesium and Holy Basil and GABA- one at night and half in the morning. Taking one day at the time.
The doctor who told me to stop taking Klonopin did not have a clue how slowly we have to stop. I am angry that she was incompetent like this.
Yes,we are strong and slowly It will get better
