Looking for experience with weaning off Klonopin

Hi everyone, I am on a couple anxiety meds I have struggled with panic disorder and social phobia my whole life. I am on zoloft and klonopin 1mg twice a day My anxiety is really regulated and My doc and I fel the zoloft has done the most for me and I dont plan on staying on Klon. for the rest of my life I dont want to be on a benzo forever I know there are some w/d's but Im not hangin onto this med like a security blanket, I have talked to alot of ppl that do. I take 2 one mg pills a day. My doctor has said he would do a slow taper down. I am well aware it cant be done cold turkey cuz of the seizures and all that. I would appreciate feedback form anyone who has experience with getting off klonopin. Thanks!!

I have tapered off of Klonopin in the past (I think around the same dosage) and I agree with your doctor.  I initially had some withdrawals and asked the doctor if I could slower than she originally suggested and it helped tremendously.  Furthermore, I knew I would feel a little jitter and anxious coming off of it, but if you expect it and you do it slowly in consultation with your doctor, you are doing the right thing in my opinion...keep us posted!
