Aa
clonazapam
i was prescribed to take it for panic attacks as required.
so i do.
but my anxiety has been high for the last couple of weeks so i take one for that daily.
but then my appetite wasent so strong from it (its a side effect, i searched it)
so i decided that i wanna go off of it.
its only been 2 weeks so if i go straight off it without weaning will anything bad happen?
thats what im afraid of.
and my doctor is on vacation and with my anxiety i dont see any other doctor.
lol its just my anxiety.
so i have a appointment for next friday when he gets back.
i have been taking clonozapam for over a year now , but not daily like i have for the past two weeks.
thanks

Namaste,
Klonopin can cause physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms after having taken it for only a week, so it's necessary to obtain the advice of a physician before discontinuing any medication.
You can try to wean yourself off this medication on your own, but without the proper guidance you could suffer serious side effects.
So I would wait till next week, talk with your psychiatrist and see what he/she has to say. Until then continue your medication as directed.
