I too am suffering from klonopin withdrawl and am feeling alot of flu like symptoms Im sweeting way?

I have been on Klonopin for over 8 years at .5mg 3 times a day. its been only 10+ days since I tapered off the med, but my body is sweeting way to much especialy in the afternoons and when i try to sleep it gets severe, along with chest pain,and congestion,. I took .5mg lastnight the sweeting stoped for only 2 hours. then I woke up this morning with a rapid heart beat. Im scared of what might happen from this withdrawl, I have been thru it before and ended up having a seizure. Im just lost on what to do anymore doctors at the ER turn there heads from me and label me as an abuser of the Klonopin, i found out that my so called best friend has been taking my meds while im at his place while im sleeping but I don't want police involvement because of the fact I can't prove anything, all I say will be here say to them. and to be clear I realy don't want to be on any meds anymore, I wish it was that easy. sorry if my info is dificult to understand.

Hello jonathan, thanks for the explanation. I'll suggest that for now, you stay on the klonopin. Long tale short, I went through a benzodiazepine detox, hospital setting, inpatient, brought down with phenobarbital ( prevent siezures) and had a massive one. Cost me the ability to speak. Had to relearn how to talk properly through speech therapy. Klonopin is a long acting benzo, thats a blessing in as much as the withdrawl, unlike say Serax or Ativan, Xanax. You'll feel the withdrawl much faster. You've been on a steady dose for a long time. You really need to be carefull, because the side effects can be dangerous, but you're aware of that. I'd not taper at the moment. Not unless you can do it in a medical setting. Its too tramatic, mentally and physically, at the moment for you,pledge
