Withdrawal from Klonopin

[[Vi...]]

Hi,

I have been taking Klonopin 0.5mg every day for 10 years. I have been trying to withdraw from it for years without success. 

This time I would really like to make it stick. Whenever I withdraw, I get extra anxiety and panic.

 

Do you know if there are any video support groups via zoom where we can share our struggles about benzo withdrawal?

Do you have any resources to help with the withdrawal?

 

Thank you

Jamie

Hello @[Vi...],

Can you share how you've attempted to taper in the past?  

What kind of resources are you looking for, do you need more information about tapers or are you looking at coping mechanisms?

I believe there are various zoom groups offered, but not through BenzoBuddies.

Hi Pamster, thanks so much for your message. I'm definitely looking for resources on coping with the anxiety that comes up during withdrawal. I have never tried to taper much before but now I feel like it's time. 

 

I'm just looking for a support group where I can talk with other people who are trying to get off benzos after bring on them long term. 

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Mary1,

 

Thank you so much. Are these zoom groups? How would I go about accessing them?

@[Vi...], we'll be happy to help you taper and provide the support you need to get through this but it would help if you let us know what your previous taper attempts have looked like.  We typically recommend reducing by about 5-10% every couple of weeks but using your symptoms to guide your taper is actually better.
