Just wanted to ask if there are withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop taking Klonopine 0.5 mg. I started with over 2mg, for anxiety and agoraphobia, ten months ago, and weaned down since then to 0.5 a day. My doc told me to take 0.5mg every second day and then after three weeks stop taking it completely.
I immediately started feeling anxious while doing this, so I went to consult my doc about it. She says that I shouldn`t be experiencing any withdrawal symptoms, and that this must mean that there is an external cause to my anxiety ... I got better in the past week, so I started doubting what she said, and am more inclined to believe that what I`m feeling is withdrawal and that I have to go through every exercise I went through while on meds - only now without them, to get the full effect of cognitive behaviour therapy.
What I`m feeling now, without the Klonopine, is mild to moderate anxiety that usually goes away, I think it`s only the fear of anxiety returning .... My hands sweat, and that`s it I think...
Thanks
