That is a benzo. Benzos are notoriously hard to come off of and can be as dangerous as a severe alcohol withdrawl. I would recomment you either a) see another doc if you have medical or b) switch to a diff. benzo (ie alorazapam, lorazepam, etc) and taper on your own. There are withdrawl symptoms associated with benzos that can be deadly depending on the circumstances. Medical attention or advice is recommended.

I have never heard of anyone being taken of Klopin without weening the dose.  My new neurologist took me off, but only slowing and he said that it was the last drug he would ever prescribe anyone. I' m glad I switched Drs.

Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, you appear to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Consult your doctor to restart and taper and slowly increase the other medication giving your body time to adjust. Take care!
