I have come off of Klonipin on nine different occasions. Every time being physically addicted for five months or more. In my experience Klonipin is the hardest drug to come off of other than methadone. The withdraws lasts for four to five weeks. The acute symptoms fade after 14 days and at 30 days you feel normal again. The first year is hard and may bring anxiety attacks yet staying clean will bring rewards you never thought would come true. You can do it! Do t listen to doctors. Healthy diet and exercise relieve stress just as much.
