I reinstated Klonopin 1mg after being on for 4 years and off for 5 weeks (CT) because I was debilitated and had every known withdrawal symptom known to mankind. I let my job put enough fear in me to make this decision. Now that I'm back on for a week, I am still struggling to think and the anxiety and panic attacks are non stop (day and night). I've never experienced anything like these!

 

My new doctor said that I should stabilize first and do a slow taper. Now I feel I'm screwed either way. Can't handle the panic and anxiety any more. The thoughts are leading me down a darker road.

 

Will I ever stabilize on the same dose I was on or will I live like this forever until I am off?

It's difficult to know if you'll stabilize or not.  Certainly, there are people who do, but there are also people who don't.  Let's hope that you're one of those who stabilizes (and soon).

Mattyx, hold strong! You will stabilize! I know how it seems so impossible, but it is not! You are in my prayers🙏

I went thru something similar. This is actually my 3rd time coming off klonopin. The first was while I was pregnant, second was last month (I made it 3 weeks before I started talking klonopin again) and now I'm back at it again. The first time (after the pregnancy) I did stabilize... This time around was much harder... I guess everyone is different. If you are still having panic and anxiety I would talk with your pdoc again.

Matty, I think you're also on a Wellbutrin start-up, which I gave you some information about in another thread.  Can you add a 'signature' (pertinent drug history) so other members can best answer your posts?

 

Here's how: go up to Profile, the Forum Profile, fill in your info and click Change Profile.

 

Thanks!
