how long do withdrawl symptoms last with klonopin?

You need to slowly come off them, Try cutting the pills in 1/4 and take them every few days then to nothing if you can.. This is the way to get offf these evil things.. I am still trying and making slow progress

I did the slow withdrawal over a period of 8 months because I was on 2 ( .50 mg. ) at night for anxiety in the morning which was devastating. The anxiety came from 2 other medications, one of which I must take. It has been 5 days completely off of it and the dizziness, loss of balance, lack of concentration, pain in the back of my head is NOT gone. I am not having anxiety anymore because I started taking an herb, lemon balm. I have systemic lupus with central nervous system involvement so having my head feel strange is not new but seeing that this rather exaggerated mess I'm in now which can last indefinitely is frightening, to say the least. I got off of it because all the symptoms of withdrawal were happening while I was on it. I read that is a syndrome that can occur, and lucky me. Or should I say lucky us. I believe this drug needs to be taken off the market.

I hear you, have been going cold turkey for two weeks. I just hate not being able to sleep!

The thing about sleep is very important. For me, if I did not have a sleep aid, my taper would fail, I am sure. I am now 11 days off of clonazepam after a taper for 6+ months down to .125mg. I tried to finish the last part, hoping for no symptoms. Boy, was I wrong. I am going to stick it out, and I wish anyone similarly affected reading this my sincere empathy.

Hang in there. I have been off Klingon for 1 yr. was on for 14 yrs. never more than .5 per day. Yes, it is horrendous, but keep going day by day.

Typo made above. Klonopin.

im having severe chest and back pain any eye sight problems is this normal.Im having continous panic attacks. Suffereing bad cant take anti depressants.

I've been on kolonipin 0.5 x 2 a day for 9 yrs which of course was no longer working so I asked for 1 more and my doc doubled it! I broke out in hives the first day and a pea test came back meth and diladah and all kinds of weird stuff . I hate meth and believe I was drugged with it. My doc cut me off with no substitute to help withdrawals and it was horrific. I don't think they were spouse to do that ! I NEED a new doc, U.S. Think?

I came across your post because I cannot find my script and haven't taken my Clonazapam for at least 3 days that I remember. I am disabled, due to fibromyalgia and mild cognitive impairment (had 22 hours brain surgery at 16 to remove an AVM), and I fall A lot. In fact, was going to the ER after I dropped off that script & one for Vyvanse (also take Effexor for depression), for injuries to my knees and hips after two falls two days apart on concrete. I thought girst I was prescribed it for sleep (I have PLMD), then when I was going through my malicious divorce, A dr told me it was for anxiety, and to take one when my narc ex was trying to provoke me into slapping him again (never do this, even if he says (growls at decibels) YOUR'E THE b***h! He will call the PD, who will arrest you in front of your snooty neighbors and children, abuse you, and ultimately you will lose residential custody of your children, as he will alienate them from you, telling them you are mentally unfit & unstable, take a lot of medications, and have let them down all their lives.

I leave hair ALL OVER my three bedroom, 1 1/2 bath apartment (filled with divorce c**p, stuff from my grandparents' death, and my parents' deaths. I rarely want to leave my apartment, feel I should be getting rid of things, discarding paper, but in three years I haven't made a dent. I used to see a DV counselor, (they decided he was the abuser, although I hit him.. I'm on 10 medications for seizures (from the surgery, to get to stage IV sleep because of the PLMD, interstitial cystitis, depression, anxiety, acid reflux, either ulcerative colitis or Chron's disease, so I don't know how those interact and how stopping the Clonazapam will affect everything, I have focal, self-limiting seizures, I live alone, I do things when I drink alcohol (well, in college), that I completely do not remember and am embarrassed to be told by other people! Also have given myself several concussions (not intentionally), and was diagnosed with BPPV vertigo. So, I don't know exactly what to point to that is making me lose my balance, fall, lose my memory (except long term).
I have limited social skills, never could make or keep friends that were girls, so now I make friends with only married men. It's stupid. I'm 50, and an orphan, divorced, with a disabled son, and daughter away at college, both stopped wanting to come see me,,,,,
Anyhow, I'm lonely and alone, and losing hair.
My mom did have alopecia ariata (not sure of spelling but she said it would happen when she got worried, one place on her head.

My "criminally irresponsible" local mental health care centre forced me into 6 weeks of Klonopin withdrawal. I was prescribed Tranxene after waiting 5 weeks for an appointment. Since then, little sleep, crying, tremors, drenching sweat, agoraphobia....atop PTSD and MS. Now I have an 11-day wait to see if I can get back on Klonopin. I know one woman who committed suicide after this same institution (Centerstone, Indiana, USA) forced her to wait for med adjustment. Emergency rooms turned her away as a drug-seeking junkie. Now the DEA wants to take away our meds altogether. Indiana's treatment of individuals with psych needs is abominable and needs to be held accountable. Who will help?

I have been taking 6 mg a day now im out for a week and I have epilepsy. .I'm scared

I have been on Klonopin for 16 years. 1 mg twice a day Did a detox four months ago. Mind melting. That's how I describe it. Your symptoms are very similar to mine. Reading your post made me think I'm not going crazy. I got hope from your post. The symptoms are withdrawal and I've been over thinking and freaking myself out. I will make it. Thanks
