My Psychiatrist agreed to taper me off of klonopin I am taking 2.5mg a day and going down by .25mg every 7 days. I'm also on Depakote to help keep the convulsions away but what I want to know is how long am I going to feel like complete s*it??? I can't sleep, my anxiety is out of control, I'm very emotional and depressed, I have no appetite, I'm nauseous, dizzy and feel detached. Will the symptoms subside in a week or so or am I'm screwed for awhile? I really want off of benzos but the withdrawals are so awful. I'm trying to stay strong and keep telling myself that it'll get better soon and it'll be worth it once I'm free of this medication but I don't know if that's true. Please tell me that I'm not lying to myself.
