Hi. I've been prescribed .5 Klonopin twice a day for 5 tears. I usually have taken it as prescribed. Sometimes less. Sometimes not at all. The past 2 years, though I have been through some serious personal issues that have left me with Complex PTSD. So my underlying anxiety got so much worse. I started taking more than prescribed.

I ended up taking 3 mgs a day. And buying them off the street. Well, since September of last year, I've been tapering myself and got down to 1.5 a day. Usually my doctor schedules me a few days early because he's told me before to take an extra at night if I'm having nightmares. Well, four times this month, I did. Now I'm 4 days short on my medication. I am on my 2nd day without it. Anxiety is super hi. I'm nauseated and kinda shakey hands. I'm terrified of a sezuire. I've never had one in my life. But I stupidly Googled it. I have health anxiety. So now this whole thing is messing with that. And causing extra anxiety. I only have till the 20th when I see my doc. I'm thinking about asking to switch to Effexor or something. But till I can get in to him, I have to go without. What should I expect? Are seizures a common thing with a 3-4 day cold turkey withdrawal?
