Hello val55,

 

Welcome to BenzoBuddies.

 

Congratulations on being benzo free!

 

Well done getting yourself off of Klonopin.  Withdrawal symptoms do very commonly continue to occur after the benzo is withdrawn.  But these kinds of symptoms do eventually stop.  Hang on and I hope relief comes soon.  We're glad you joined us and will be glad to support you.

 

Here are some links you may find helpful:

Post withdrawal recovery support is a good spot where our benzo free buddies post for support.

Again, welcome!

welcome  congrats on being benzo free. That has to feel good. I am assuming that you found this site as a result of feeling badly. Withdrawal symptoms, especially in the first few months can be pretty awful but know that they are only temporary. Things will get better, I promise.
