I found it easy to go off Klonopin. As I recall I went off it cold turkey, which I would never recommend to anyone. I read the story about the person having a siezure. I think considering that Klonopin is a long acting benzo that that person must have had an extreme sensativity to it. I would say his is the exception and not the rule. Some doctors even suggest taking Klonopin to get off the shorter acting benzo's like xanax.

I hsve not read much horrer stories about getting off of Klonopin. I myself would be more concerned with shorter acting benzo's. But if any of them give you the kind of relif you are talking about I would not hesitate for a scond to take them. Even if you did have a difficult time for a relatively short amount of time getting off of it it seems to me the positive affects you recieved from it would well outway a short lived discomfort. As for having to stay on it forever. I think that is way overworry. Who knows if you do that well on it you may not want to get of the drug!
