anyone have experience in failing a taper and going back to your original dose?

I failed after a month long taper from 1.5mg klonopin to 1mg, the anxiety was bad so I chickened out and re-upped to my original dose.  my pdoc is pissed at me because I tried on my own and won't give advice except to tell me to go to the ER. its been four days with no improvement, I don't know what to do.  wait it out? up my dose? my regular doc has no clue as to what to do.  somebody out there must have gone through something similar.  any advice?

If you tapered from 1.5mg to 1 mg in a month that is a 33% cut. way too fast!!! 10% every two weeks is a stretch. A liquid microtaper with daily cuts is the least painful.

In my opinion you should just wait it out.  I've gone down and up and and up again and it didn't help. If you stay where you are you will stabilize.
