I have been on clonazapam for over nine years now and it saved my life. I also have addiction issues going on now but I know that without the clonazapam I would be so much worse. Speaking for myself, I belive my addiction problems comes from my anxity and not know how to cope with situations. How long were you on clonazapam? I weaned from 3mg a day down to 1. It took a while and I felt realy icky while I weaned down. It all depends on how long you were on it. Buspar is an antidepressent that can help with anxiety. The icky feeling is realy w/d from the drug. Hang in there because it will pass.

Today marks another milestone as I've tapered down again, this time to .375 mg of Klonopin from .5 mg.
Just eight weeks ago I was @ 1.75 mg's/day so I'm feeling pretty good about my progress, how-ever I am concerned if I can actually pull-off a full detox from that drug. Been on it soo long that I know that the final CT from it won't be easy and I have no idea what to expect or if I even will want to stay clean from it. Sure would be a lot of work/hassle to finally decide to stay on it after this taper...but I'm going to give it a try.
Anyone out there with any detox experience from Klonopin? I've been tapering from all meds since "07" and seems like discomfort/anxiety/pain has been the norm, but so far so good and well worth it!
Any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
