This doc never told me to taper off. I took it for about 3 months .25, 3x a day. I stopped it cold turkey and boy did I have major withdrawals. Felt like I was totally losing my mind, etc. Only lasted about a day and I was fine. I chalk it up to an MD who prescribed it but really knew nothing about it. I have learned so much about meds since then. I'm sure if I had tapered off of Xanax I would of been fine.

> I like Klonopin. I've done a lot of homework on it. However I do not take it on a regular basis. I think a 30 day supply lasts me about 4 months. I would love to try it on a regular basis. In my opinion nothing beats the Benzo's for anxiety. The whole problem is the "habit forming" question.

> CapriHi Capri, I think you have the experience to take the klonopin in a responsible manner. The lex starts working and then cut back. If the lex does not work move on. I think you know the game you have educated yourself on these disorders and meds and thats very important. Like someone posted the other day cant worry about the future got to worry about today. GOOD LUCK!!!
