Ive been taking Klonopin for 7 years!! Not alot I figured .5mg per day. Well, I want to stop, it seems as it doesn't work anymore anyway... My Doc says cold turkey is dangerous, I was determined. He prescribed Zanax in case I needed it. I had no idea what I was in store the withdrawal has been horrifying. Night sweats, panic, shakes, fatique, tremors, lots of freaky feelings... I wake up thinking things like Brain anurisms (forgive spelling), another panic attack (Ive had 4 in the couple months of only trying, and then giving in after a couple days) I want to be normal again, any suggestions
Thanks for any help,
Sandi
