how much longer for klonopin withdrawal symptoms to go away ?

[receptive]

i have been taking klonopin 1/4 every morning and night of a 2mg pill for over a year, have been going cold turkey for 4 days now, what should i expect and how much longer with all these withdrawal symptoms ? I couldn't sleep at night and took seroquel 1/4, finally got some rest, still feel weak and down. ????

You received very good advice from Paxiled. That is still a very low dose, and you should not expect anything worse, but to get better over about another week....

You should never quit a benzo cold turkey!  You need to taper slowly and under the care of a psychiatrist.  You seem to be okay, but they can cause seizures and other serious problems upon sudden stoppage.  As to how long withdrawal lasts, that depends on the person.  It's not a one size fits all situation.  Can be easy, can be terrible, can be very quick, can be very long.
