I am in a similar situation and ? my name is sandra. I have been on Klonopin longer and I have decided to try and wean myself off them because they didn't help anyway. I am also taking Zolpidem to sleep - feel awful - I really don't think I'm going to make it. It feel I trusted my dr. with my life, my health and I feel terrible. My teeth hurt, I get drowsy, feel like I'm having a heart attack.....I am so scared and don't know who to turn to because drs have that "code of ethics" they sick together so I feel my life is over.

Im constantly shaking severe chest pains burning up my back. The drs dont understand they say your hands shake a little if only they knew. if the dr would have only told me it would ruin my life. Please dont say its over lets try to find something that makes it a little better. Have you tried any supplements im getting ready to try tryphtophan because i cant take 5htp. And ssris do nothing but make it worse.

Are you off clonazepam, yet? I have been tapering off for about a month. I was 1 mg nightly for about 3 years. I have not sleep much and not leaving the house unless to go to a dr appt. I am confident that I will win this battle. I have taken my last dose of 0.125 mg and the dr said I could hop off there. Does this sound okay.

Wow I have been trying to rid myself of the EVIL also, I was on 2mg and have tapered down to .05mg and now cut a .05mg into 4 and take one of those every other night if I can but end up taking more, I still have withdrawals when not taking it !!! This stuff is pure EVIL !! I started taking this for a severe insomnia problem and it actual causes my Insomnia to become worse !! the most I can go for without taking them is about 3 days and it sucks me back in because I wont sleep at all and feel like I just want to die at times... and the Headaches !!! OMG worst I ever had in my life !!!! I just cant shake this stuff.................

Wow I really feel your pain. I've been off Klonopin for almost 30 days and am agonizing w/d still. I was on it for 3 years (3-5mg a day ) tried a medical detox which was a joke. I've lost 20 pounds from the nausea and dry heaving. I have muscle pain, terrible headaches, body jerks, I cannot speak well, I feel like I have someone sitting on my chest squeezing my throat making it hard to breath. I feel like a horrible mother because I can't do anything anymore. It's affecting my relationship with my husband as well. I'm at my wits end and my doc told me I shouldn't be having w/d anymore..? I'd rather be on Klonopin than deal with this anymore.

I was on 3 mg clonazepam for 6 years (a few times I took more). Wanted off because it was affecting memory and cognition. Tapered down and crossed over to valium at 20 mg (= 1 mg clonazepam). Now at 10 mg V and tapering at 10% every 4 weeks. Still have bad insomnia, shakiness, poor concentration. However, I exercise/sweat 5X/week and eat plant based protein diet. I have Faith I will succeed. Slow taper is key. Drs keep offering antidepressants. No! I want my life back please.

I really do understand how hard it can be to get off benzodiazepines. I've been on them for some time now and ready to change my life. I can't even imagine what you are going thru right now, but staying positive and having people that understand what is happening physically and mentally will help you. Good luck!! Remember that their are many of us that understand what others don't.

I've been taking clonzepam for 8 months. Highest dose was 1mg once a night. I'm now on
.25 mg. I'm having a hard time sleeping. I'm also sensitive to gluten n so I can't eat anything I want. I'm so sensitive to food. I've been trying to lower the dose but it's hard. Doctor's tell me it's a low dose. That's easy to get off from. try being in my shoes doc. I've added L-thealine and it has helped me to sleep. But my body doesn't feel right. I don't know what else to do from here on.

Try cutting the pills in half then in quarters.. This is what I have been doing and I only take it every 2 days because I feel so sick from this c**p... Some times I have to take more because I cant sleep at all ( why I started taking it in the first place.. WISH I NEVER DID !)....Its hell but its the only way to get off this evil stuff and it takes time.. lots of time. Im still trying.. Dont give up.

I was on klonopin for 4 years. When I stopped taking it I have been experiencing, headaches, a heartbeat in my right ear, and some dizziness. Anyone else ever have these symptoms in the withdrawal phase?
