I am suffering bad withdrawal symptoms from Klonopin (clonazepam). How long do these symptoms typically take?
Question:
Answers:
They last for a week or two if my memory serves me right unless you have been using Klonopin for a while. I think you are trying to taper off to quickly. Im not a doctor but i would raise back up to 2mg or even 3mg if you need it to keep the withdrawals at bay. From their decrease .5mg every 4 days untill at 1mg again or taper off completely.
don't waste anymore time asking us. go to a doctor. some of these effects could turn long term or permanent without professional supervision. good luck. and i know how you feel.
it takes a while according to when you started them =say you have been on them for two years ,it could take up to a month to get rid of all the symptoms ,but as the month goes by , the symptoms get less
Don't drink or take anything that works on the same receptors (gaba). Go cold turkey than it may take 3-5 days or longer. It really depends on a lot of things like your metabolism, diet, and and how long you were on and your body weight.
I would see a doctor ASAP you health is at risk, you risk seizures, all the things you mentioned, serious mental side effects and EVEN death!
They might precribe you topomax to wean off of klonopin or any number of benzos that have a shorter half life till you feel comfortable taking no benzo.
