Hi

[[si...]]

My name is Stephanie. I have been on 2mgs klonopin daily since Nov 2013. I have tapered down to 1mg daily as of June 2017, but I am anxious all the time now. My agoraphobia has also gotten worse. I am barely able to work.

Hello, sidhekist. Welcome to Benzo Buddies! We're glad to have you here. I'm sorry to hear about your withdrawal symptoms being so difficult. Anxiety and agoraphobia can be quite common during withdrawal. There is a wealth of information on this forum to help you cope with and minimize your symptoms so you can taper successfully.

I'd also like to give you a link to the Ashton Manual. Dr. Ashton is an expert on withdrawal from benzodiazepines. Much of what we know about benzodiazepines and successful withdrawal comes from her work.
