  • Thanks for posting sweetheart!

  • I found Klonopin withdrawls to be a walk in the park compared to Xanax withdrawls.

  • don't worry just keep faith alive and hang in there, i was taking 15mg's a day because i became addicted to klonopin i was poppin these things like candy for abour 3 years and i have to taper off very slowly, my mind is everywhere, i get shakes and twiching, i sweat even in the cold, and it hurts ALOT when i breathe, and i got super super depressed, it was like an itch i couldnt stop when i didnt have these pills, but you can push thru this trust me you can do it. im now down to 1mg, started 15

  • Hi, thanks for the information. I have been on Klonipin since 1991 and just stopped taking it 6 weeks ago. I really thought I was going crazy because my symptoms are exactly like yours. I am sorry you are going through the agony that you are but it was helpful to hear from someone else to clarify that what I'm going through is normal.

    Thanks again,

    Danny

  • Bless your heart. I know how withdrawal is. It's horrible! Please if anyone is thinking about taking this pill, don't!

  • @123keryn

    Hi, Thank you so much for what you said, Withdrawls are awful and im still going through it. I totally agree with you and your statment for anyone who is prescribed this unless it is medically NECESSARY, Dont take this pill. It will hurt your liver and other parts of your body and it is so hard to get off of. Thanks for the message, take care.

    Deb :)

  • @debbay2204

    Just hang in there... I know how withdrawal is.. I'm going through it, not only that I have Schizophrenia too.. which makes it harder.

    Keep the faith!

  • Sweetie my DR prescribed me Klonopin as well it's for some bad muscle cramping I get but I am afraid to death to take this pill.

  • @Disneyclassics009

    Hi,

    Im not going to lie to you, Its gonna seem like a miracle pill in the beginning but my advise is to ask your doctor for something else like flexarall, Dont take this pill it can hurt your liver , pancreas and other organs. Its not just about withdrawls, My advise is to do alot of research on it. My brother was prescribed it and when he saw what it did to me he told them to take it back. I have had pancreatitis several times because of this med.

    Good luck.

    Deb

  • they need to ban that shit! 3 months off and Im still not right!

  • Get tapered off and get off it. The longer you take it, the worse it gets. I never abused it. I took the 5 mg a day my doctor wrote for extreme depression and anxiety for 8 YEARS. Pretty soon, I was on 6 different psych meds all at once and abusing pain pills cuz I felt like hell. I checked into rehab for the pain pills, they cold turkeyed me off the klonopin. I went psychotic for a week. Ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks. Got ringing in my ears for 2 years. Wife left me. Evil shit.

  • I'm weaning off this devil too. I'm a young and down to 2.5 mgs :( I hope to god you get down off this crap and hang in there. It's possible that's the hope. I have empathy and know how you feel but I can imagine it's worse on the dose you were on. LOL makes me want to shuv these pills down the docs throats for months on ends and cold turkey them. I'm sorry u have to go through this. You sound determined and know what's going on. keep up w/ the tappering. cheers.

  • smoking pot will help with the withdrawal :)

  • I also take Klonopin for my Tourettes and anxiety, it helps a lot, I am on 1mg 2x per day and if i don't take it I feel like i am losing my mind also but I also have a lot of OCD and I worry excessively anyway. I wish I didn't have to take anything. I was on Haldol which was much worse for me, I don't even notice the effect of the Klonopin anymore unless i don't take it. How are you doing now?

  • I dont understand everyone who says benzo withdrawal is so terrible. I have taken the same low dose for years, except in times of increased stress I ask for it to be upped, but I can stop no problem at all.

  • There's a great new support site for benzo withdrawal called Benzo Exodus. They are very helpful.

  • This is exactly why i fucking hate legal drugs like prescription pills, tobacco and alcohol.... Depending on your medical condition and where you live i'd recommend medical marijuana. It's been proven to treat many medical conditions and there's no withdrawals other than the boredom you have to deal with after you've stopped smoking it for a few days lol.

  • @jdmaster13 Marijuana makes panic worse in most cases, not a good idea

  • 8MG?

    That is ALOT of Klonopin!

    Hope you're better!

  • I will pray for you. This benzo hell is getting out of hand. I'm glad you realize it's bad for your health, and going down to 1/4 of a pill is AMAZING. It's going to hurt horribly, but once you're body is settled with the 1/4 you'll be fine to taper down to 1/8 and so on.

    I have been on Clonazepam (Klonopin) 3mg a day for 3+ Years.

  • @Fastspoolsupra, Thank you so much, I appreciate that very much. Take care of yourself also.

  • @debbay2204

    Thanks. We're in the same shoes (In a way) and it sucks. I hope you can be strong enough to push through it. Realize there's greener grass on the other side and look forward to the new you, that you will be off this medication.

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!

    How did your surgery go?

  • @mandtconstruct , Hi, my surgery was crazy, While they were doing the gastric bypass my oxygen dropped down to the 40's , so they had to stop in the middle of it to get my oxygen back up but after that I was ok.. I was in the hospital for 3 days and it has been hard because i had to go back in due to ulcers on my scar tissue from the operation and now its really hard to eat. I have now lost a total of 88 lbs though. My computer is on the fritz but I will make a vid asap. Thanks for asking

  • Please do another video on your klonipin withdrawl update. I would really appreciate it!

  • hhaha u look fucked up ur eyes are all withdrawaled out hahahha. i have 60 klons is my hand sucks to be you!!

  • @BemyfriendORdieLOL , Look sweetheart let me tell you something that you may not realize, Its not cool to be on meds that your not supposed to be on, Its not something to be proud of. I am slowly coming off of this medication and your making fun of me? Well im giving myself credit for doing it and not saying that i have some in my hand and im happy about it. If you really do my suggestion would be to flush them down the toilet and never touch that crap again.

  • @debbay2204 fuck you fat whore

  • @BemyfriendORdieLOL , Look your the one who watched my video, I never asked you to, That was your choice. As for me I am undergoing gastric bypass sugery and i am not sad that i am fat because i am doing something about it. I am positive about myself. Why dont you try that instead of trying to make fun of others.

  • ur still fuckin ugly fat or not ahhaha

  • @BemyfriendORdieLOL What is wrong with you, you fucking asshole? I hope that someday when you are in pain someone laughs at you.

  • Hi, I'm sorry you have to go through this, I am too

    I'm Water Titrating. And I was on a high mg, now a low mg. Thanks.

  • @crazy7house What is water titrating? I know what titrating is but what is the water?

  • I took klonopin for 18 months. I'm 5 years off and my brain is still liquified.

    My life is ruined because of that drug. I can't even begin to tell you the hell of coming off that drug.

  • you know my doctor was fucked in the head as well, he prescribed me 2mg. of xanax 4x a day, the fuck face didn't even bother listening to me when I tried to ask him questions

  • I stopped taking Xanax mid May, I went through hell the first two weeks, then I started to feel better, I recently started getting horribly restless and get spells of horrible mindlessness and fatigue, it's been over 2 months since my last dose

  • I'm sorry what do you take it for? your trips?

  • it's not medicine, it's a DRUG, at least as bad as heroine, cocaine, shrooms, etc...

  • wtf? shrooms? shrooms are as natural as the cow shit they grow on man. they are very NOT harmful (sorry for the bad grammar, internet, serious business..) and natural. on the other hand heroin (no 'e' at the end, just so you know) and coke are completely different drugs that have to be almost synthesized before it comes out in its last form. Also, heroin, an opiate has physical withrawals, cocaine does not. As a user who has done their fare share of both (just now recovering from a year long

  • heroin addiction), i can say that certain drugs are easier to kick than others. Benzo's have some serious withdrawals though and if someone like debbay were to cease taking her medication all at once she could star convlusing and do serious damage. With things like coke, the addiction wasnt as evident since its really all in your head. But with heroin, theres PHSYICAL withdrawals, you feel SICK, have insomnia depressin etc. Much easier to get hooked on IMO.  Just some FYI for those who dk.

  • I too am coming off of Klonopin and wonder if there is an internet support group for the same? I was on 3 mg and in the course of 3 weeks I dropped 1.5mg and then the withdrawal hit me really hard. I haven't dropped any in 4 weeks but to restart the decreasing. Think it would help to have support to get off.

    Thanks

  • also when i came off i had severe epilepsy symptoms, never before in my life had that, the doc also diagnosed me with bipolar and said i had to be on meds for the rest of my life, today i take nothing at all :o)

  • Thanks for all the information your telling me, It really helpful espically when your going through something like this, I just take it day for day. Hope your doing well

    Deb :)

  • you will be ok, just keep the taper nice and slow, i know the withdrawal sucks but u will get through it 100 percent, just ride with the symptoms the best u can and dont try to fight them, they are a sign of ur brain and body reversing the dependancy and healing, always remember that. some doctors are so bad it frightens me, i would put money on it your condition isnt getting worse but you hit a tolerance to the klonopin which causes the very same symptoms, doctors havent got a clue.
