I've been taking Klonopin for over 15 years. It was prescribed for me when I was diagnosed with SLE and fibromyalgia. I take it along with antidepressants. I've recently tried to come off of it and I had a very difficult time. The withdrawls were just terrible!! I'm only able to get down to 1 mg after taking 3 and sometimes 4 mg a day. Due to the withdrawls being so severe I had to stop at 1 mg. I am shocked with the fact that I can 'feel' again.!! I didn't realize how much this drug was preventing me from feeling. I have even been dreaming again...something I haven't done probably since I've been on it. I'm having a difficult time sleeping , going to sleep, staying asleep...FOR ANYONE WHO GOES ON THIS DRUG...PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD , DON'T LET A DR. GIVE YOU MORE THAN 1 OR 11/2 MG PER DAY!!!! If at all possible, don't even take it on a regular basis if you can. Its so very addictive...Good luck to all of you!!!!!!!!!
