In reply to Re: Klonopin withdrawl, HELP!!, posted by cubbybear on October 5, 2003, at 6:17:02
Thank you all for your suggestions. I am actually going to take Hiba and Cubybear's suggestions and go back on the Klonopin and then wean off very slowly. I also think I went off too quickly, and I can't tolerate the type of insomnia and withdrawl effects I have been experiencing. I talked to my therapist last night because my Pdoc is out of town. She has weaned lots of people off benzo's and suggested I go back on and get a very slow titration schedule from my Pdoc. Last night, I was feeling so afraid because the side effects from withdrawl are much worse than the side effects I had while on Klonopin. Last night, I took .25 of Klonopin and slept 8 hours. I took .5 today and feel much better. I will tolerate the anticholinergic side effects until I can wean off. Hiba, thank you for your suggestion of the Mianserin. I will do somemore research on it. Were you ever on it, and if so what are your experiences? Thanks again all of you for your support.
