Within a week, I feel worse than when I started taking it. I can't even read the news without crying, and if anything is out of order, I freak out. I forget things very often, it's very hard to sleep/get out of bed, and I use the F word way too much. I'm constantly anxious.

I was on klonopin 2mg twice a day, since 1995. I had to stop taking it 6 days ago, since my doctor refuses to prescribe it any longer. My primary care doctor, in Brooklyn, NY, gave it to me with no problem. However, since I moved to Jersey, it is a nightmare trying to find a good doctor.

My primary care doctor, in Brooklyn, NY, gave it to me with no problem. However, since I moved to Jersey, it is a nightmare trying to find a good doctor. It is my Jersey doctor who would not prescribe it any longer, and the withdrawal is killing me. I literally feel as though I am losing my mind. Even as I type this, it is as if I am in a dream (or a nightmare), I am dripping with sweat (very unusual for me), my stomach is killing me, I have a huge headache, and am exhausted. My anxiety level is through the roof as well. Exactly, how long can I look forward to this party? If I can tough it out until I feel normal (although I was on this cause my anxiety was out of control), I cannot decide whether or not I will commit homicide or suicide.

It works well for me. I take it for my severe anxiety attacks. 1-3mg when needed.

I was on Klonopin for a few years for panic disorder with agoraphobia and to prevent mania. I was doing very well. Then a doctor made me go to an inpatient detox facility to get off of it and nearly killed me. I suffered horribly with every known protracted withdrawal symptom for 7 months.When the agoraphoboa got so bad that I became a prisoner in my own home, my doctor reinstated me. I am much better and I did not have to go on a higher dose. I take 0.5mg. twice a day. It is the withdrawals that cause the horror stories you hear about. Not the drug itself for me. I needed it and I am taking it. I do not lose my memory, I can do what a normal person does. I am doing well. If I have to have a dose increase , so be it. I have BiPolar 1 and suffer enough. Good luck and God bless you
