I went off Klonopin cold turkey two weeks ago (bad move I know)... I was taking .25 mg a night to sleep (as per docs script) for three weeks... It started to make me feel extremely anxious and drugged up after taking it for a while... I seem to have EVERY protracted withdrawal symptom known to man (odd thoughts, flu like symptoms, no energy, constant headaches, memory loss, confusion, severe anxiety, severe depression, depersonalization, aggressive thoughts (but NOT actions), etc. How long is this HELL going to take to emerge from? I fear that as per the Ashton Manual (read it too late) that I did IRREPARABLE damage to my psyche and brain due to going off the med C/T. Does ANYONE have ANY insight on this matter from PERSONAL experience... I'm well versed in medical statistics... but I'd like to know some actually case histories... Thank you all for listening to my jumbled ramble... GOD BLESS!

MODERATION IS KEY
Thanks for the response. I am now ending month 5. I am having some better days. I still have Tinnitus, hot flashes and only sleep 2-3 hrs at night. The lack of sleep is difficult. It's been a ODAT. I am grateful to be on this side. Looking forward...
How ate you now?
I would have cut it in half or taken it every other day. Keep and eye on your heart rate and blood pressure if you can. If, your hands feel clammy you feel like your skins crawling maybe take low dose of Benadryl. Stay hydrated -it’s a very low dose some people like myself are very sensitive to the slightest change in a dose. I don’t recommend cold turkey ever- from any benzodiazepine... If, your body isn’t used to taking medication in general and you have a low tolerance- you might as well have been of a high dose because you would definitely feel the same affects. It’s not fun...
I would speak to your doctor maybe he or she can give you a low dose of a medicine like clonidine as needed.
I hope that you feel better
Be well!

Hi I also had the absolutely pure hell of this I withdrawals from Xanax paxil and also clonazepamand Lyrica Adderall at home. Benadryl really helps so does melatonin and also over the counter anti-nausea stuff like if you were to go on a cruise medicine Dramamine I took all those to try to help and I don't know if your doctor will prescribe you gabapentin or backofen those I've used b4 for it I actually had to withdrawal five times I have severe narcolepsy and cataplexy and I had 5 sleep studies these are just some things I did to try to help offset it once you get past the three weeks to months apart it does come far and few between then so just take about six months did that for me to finally never feel anything. Related to the withdrawal I'm not scaring you it's not as bad as it sounds so you definitely have to have something you can't just wdrawl all by yourself.
I would take a Half clonazepam for 3 days then 1/4 3 days then every other day then every 2 days ,3 times. My dog actually has Addison's disease and I have to wean him off of steroids all the time so I learned that kind of from there to follow that guidelines I hope something of this help I'm not trying to sound bossy I just wanted to help and I hope I'm not to late :). Good luck brain zaps worst and I hated it :(. baclofen if Dr gives u becareul that's the worst one I've experienced I'm currently w drawling from soma :(. I wish u luck was thinking answering yr question I have concussion as well little slower haha!!
So today is 27 days off "C" and I am not having a good day. I started weaning off March 31st from 1 mg and had been on it for 18 years. It was prescribed for RLS. I believe I tapered slowly. I am happy I am off, just waiting to feel better. I shared with a good friend about feeling shaky and her response was " are you sure it's not mental"?? Anyone else having issues at this point?
I failed to mention that I am a 68 female. Have hot flashes, feelings like I can't breathe, don't want to leave the house, loud ringing in my ears. UGH I think everyone thinks I am making this up?? Is it withdrawal? I am so over this! Is this normal after 28 days??
Been taking .5mg for about 5 years once a day at night for sleep. I am a 56 year old male.
Last night i ran out of pills and I am already feeling the effects of a missed dosage. Going to see my Dr. today I am going to ask him for .25mg tablets and hopefully start to slowly ween myself off. Are there any other meds that can help with this whole detox stuff?
Good for you! Not a doctor but I've read the longer you are on a benzo might be more challenging of a discontinuation syndrome though I've read many success stories similar to yours. So glad for you on this progress you've made... you should be fine. There are some supplements that are brain and adrenal healthy that you may find helpful. You would check with the proper health care provider if you are on any other meds which are contraindicated. We've found these helpful... ashwaganda, phosphatydal serine, lavender pills to manage cortisol, anxiety and adrenal issues from poor sleep.
I was prescribed Lexapro 10 mg a day and .25 Clonazepam at bed for sleep and anxiety. I’ve had severe panic/ anxiety my whole life I’m 53 yrs old and healthy. This worked great for me for 12 years or so.. I’ve been under a lot of stress recently due to being a care giver to my mom with Alzheimer’s and other life stresses. I should have gone to therapy to deal with the stress.. which led to depression.. but instead went to a psychiatrist and he changed all my meds very abruptly. He doubled my Lexapro dose.. took me off clonazepam ( one week taper) and added 75mg trazodone for sleep. He said I could use 25 mg hydroxyzine up to 3x a day for anxiety. Well.. my life turned to Hell within 2-3 weeks. I had no idea about weaning off clonazepam. I experienced severe anxiety, loss of any pleasure, restless leg syndrome , feeling like I was losing my mind. Since this idiot doctor changed several things at once..
we don’t know what med is causing what symptom!! I’m super sensitive to meds anyway. I reduced to 15 mg Lexapro and the restless leg syndrome stopped immediately. I feel better.. but still wake up anxious physically and mentally. I just don’t feel myself and what desperately to just feel normal and start over. I never ever took more than the .25 clonazepam at bed.. never felt the need to increase the dose. I just felt normal. I’m not sure if I’m having withdrawals or my original problem of anxiety is back?? I have talked to my regular doc.. and she said since I am 1 month in this med change to stick it out.. because clonazepam long term isn’t good.. but.. geez.. I need to have quality of life now! She gave me script for clonazepam. But said to take no more than .25 twice a week. I should NEVER have done this med change ( except maybe going from 10-15 mg of Lexapro). Wondering if I should go back to original Clonazepam at bed.. and start over when I feel better with maybe a very slow withdrawal. Or .. just keep taking it if it helps!! I think all the misuse with this drug.. has caused doctors to be skeptical and NOT prescribe this medication to those of us who truly have better quality of life with it. I can’t live with debilitating anxiety and panic. I’ve had this since I was 7 years old. Any comfort and support is greatly appreciative. Plus.. not much free time.. I babysit my new grandson 35 hours a week. I used to make jewelry but just feel so unfocused and lost interest in anything creative. Could the trazodone be causing the morning/ afternoon anxiety??? Thanks for listening. And please don’t tell me anything scary.. it makes me anxious.
Wiktorek2,
Sounds like your doc is "doping" you up but not fixing your problem.
My personal belief is to find a functional medicine doctor who can properly wean you off while supporting any deficiencies with herbs or supplements. You feeling anxious when you're tapering any of these meds especially if done incorrectly, is exactly what will happen... it's an unhappy side effect of this whole process. See if there any Institute of functional medicine certified doctors in your area or look for a naturopathic doctor or a functional neurologist who have every experience with this. Bodies were designed to heal with natural processes not with pills. These meds only enable you to become increasingly dependent on them, they never fix any problems and that's not how anyone wants to live.
Anxiety can come from so many physiological imbalances from imbalances in your gut bacteria, food allergy inflammation, to infections like candida or other metabolic or nutrient deficiencies like anemia just to name a few. All of those things should have been explored before you are ever given an anti-anxiety medication. If you can't find any of this type of doctor where you live find another Doctor who's familiar with tapering who can get you off of these meds slowly and safely.
I had been in 1mg klonopin at three pills a day for over 6 years. My insurance made me stop the drug and my doctor did a long 6 months titrate. Halves the doses and was doing great! The last titrate was 1/2 pill every other day and I was doing fine, but the sleeplessness is hard and I am getting these hot flashes that I thought were hormones doesn't seem to be! It's the klonopin W/D!
I have stuck with it, but not sure how the next step of stopping it will go? It's odd that I wondered what the problems were and now I know these are symptoms! I will keep plugging on and pray the worst is behind me! These hot flashes are HORRIBLE and I get them like 6 times a day. Hope these go away soon!
I've been off for 7 weeks now. I am still having those hot flashes too! I am still waiting to feel better. I've now started to have palpitations. Do I go to the ER, is this part of the withdrawal? I had full cardiac workup earlier this year, and all was okay. Still have the loud ringing in my ears... I am so done with this. UGH
Anyone here where I am at 7 weeks post clonazepam?
I'm sorry you are going through this but looks like you are on the right track. 9 years ago my husband titrated too quickly from Xanax and had severe symptoms. You have to give it time, your body will readjust.
Have you looked into some supplements that can help with the elevations in cortisol which contributes to hit flashes and anxiety such as phosphatydal serine, ashwaganda, chamomile or lavender pills?
We've used all of these to help with rising cortisol levels and replenishing adrenal function over the years for a couple of months at a time. I don't know where I'd be without these supplements during some stressful periods.
Hi ACMVM,
Thanks for your reply. It is now week 10, and the palpitations are still here along with hot flashes and ear ringing... I did go the ER week 8 as palpitations really frightened me. They did a full cardiac work up. I explained that I was 8 weeks off clonazepam, they said absolutely no way could the clonazepam be causing the palpitations?? Result of ER visit, no cardiac problem. They could not explain why I was having them. I am taking Melatonin at night and Magnesium in the morning. So... still waiting and happy to be off the clonazepam... anyone else ??
Most docs don't know or won't admit anything about withdrawal syndromes. It is so frustrating.
My suggestion seriously is to find a good functional med doctor, one who understands the pharmacology side and the holistic side. You can look up functional medicine or functional neurologist. Many docs of chiropractic who study the integrative side specialize in neurology. Could also be a good naturopathic doctor who has experience in this area. That's how my husband got better. No er doc or psychiatrist had a clue as to how to go about this methodically. Of course the more meds you are withdrawing from the harder it is but you need to have the right help outside of the traditional models. Problem is insurance reimbursement is difficult and it could be costly but if you can afford a visit or 2 might be worth it.
For the person at 7 weeks, I am at 5 weeks and this is all normal. AWFUL, but part of the process <and gets scary> The heart palpitations, the hot flashes .. all of it. Every time it happens to me, I think to myself <this is just proof that I am moving forward & my body is repairing itself> AND it is one more day closer to the end. I picture my CNS "coming up for air" so to speak .. and each time something awful happens, it still means I am moving forward <as my body -and central nervous system- is slowly getting used to a new normal ... I read a story from the UK; I think it is called - Jen's story? .. it helped knowing everything she described <getting off benzo's> I was also experiencing & her timeline. I keet telling myself: there is no way around it, only through it.
Hang in there. God Bless.
I know this probably seems trivial. I was prescribed .5mg klonopin about a month ago. Have only taken seven .5mg pills within the 34 days I have been prescribed. Is there any possibily of rebound anxiety from this small of an amount taken over 34 days? Im terrified of rebound anxiety from everything I have read on the thread.
It really doesn't sound like it. Seven pills in 34 days is very little. I wouldn't worry and you can very likely stop with no trouble.
I agree, seems infrequent enough, however, over a month ..around 2 times per week could potentially create some tolerance. Just keep off if possible and find some naturalistic supplements or herbs to help calm as you continue to wean. These meds when not used only for short term use are like making a deal with the devil. I hope you continue to improve!
I also read the Ashton Manuel too late. I ended up in the ER because I cut the Klonopin off completely. You have to reduce a quarter at a time and that is rough also. Unfortunately I am still taking it. How are you making out?
Not sure if you meant me but I’m doing great. Back to work and off all meds. Thank god
I've been on Klonopin for a few years now.
At the time I was so desperate for relief and thankful I found something that helped. Through the years I've slowly cut back from 2mg 3x daily to only at night when my brain goes into overload. Or as needed. A couple years back I was starting to feel good and stopped c/t. I had no idea this med could be addicting. I didn't realize I was having withdrawals and couldn't hold still as well as no sleep. Going on the 3rd night w/out sleep I was getting scared. I
I went to the ER. The nurse accusing me of drug seeking? I went over all my meds with them but didn't even think about the Klonopin until the last min. The Dr. Instructed the nurse to give me some Klonopin and right away I was relaxed and falling a sleep.
They had me hooked up to an heart monitor. The alarm kept going off because my blood pressure was dangerously high when it's always been low. After this experience I always research anything new and not just put all my faith in these doctors. I strongly suggest the same and NEVER go c/t without talking to your doctor first.
And yet people want, no, they demand, benzodiazepines because they are cheap and easy knowing full well that they are addictive and cause increased anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, memory loss, and many physical ailments. Do some research on the effects of long term use and you'll realize that withdrawals are the least of your worries.
There are many safer effective options...
That is an EXCELLENT warning. It is true. However; it is not helpful if you are someone going through it right now. If you are in the midst of this -and can not go back and change the past- this does no good. It is true & only good if you are about to get on a benzo ... just not AFTER you've quit.
Go slow and you will be fine.
I was one 1.0 mg twice a day for 24 years, I started withdrawing in January and tapered very slowly and that has been pure hell. If possible can you go back on low dose as I was required to up dose only to reduce after a month.lAst I dose was early July and having terrible hot flashes. Hope you can end the nightmare soon.
I am a 62 yr old female. I was forced to go off Klonopin after my doctor passed.and his practice was sold. I had to and still am withdrawing after 5 months. I have a cute anxiety still. I have been there on it for over 25 yrs. I have this loud insane ringing in my ears, and no life whatsoever.
Terrichick I feel your pain. I was on Klonopin 1.5 mg for 25 years as well. Tried going off it twice titraiting down. I still had horrible side effects. I finally had to be hospitalized to go through detox for ten days. After that I was still a mess and my brain did not function for about four months and I couldn’t drive. My psychiatrist recommended to take magnesium to calm my system. It did help and you might want to try it. Almost two years out I feel great now.
The best to you.
I was on Xanax and later up to 4 mg a day of Klonopin for 28 years. I got extremely sick mentally and physically for almost a year. The first four months were brutal with vomiting, no sleep, no appetite at all, constant anxiety, seizures and much more. I noticed the ringing in the ears when I was getting well enough for that to even bother me. Then it just stopped all together one morning in rehab and I was ecstatic! Hang in there because it will get better soon!
Terrichick, your post is 6 years ago, so I trust and hope you are good by now. However, a few people recently responded in July 2018. Withdrawals and dependency are different, but feel similar. I started to reduce my dose when the usual dose did not work. I realized I had become dependent, so it was either cut back or take more. After the first cut, it took 5 days to feel ok. Nausuea, depersonalization, stomach cramps, tingling, vivie dreams and auditory hallucinations. Terrible and scary. Then all good on 6th day. I stabilized for 2 months, then reduced again. That was easier. Now I am reducing again,and it is harder this time. It has taken me 6 months to reduce from .5 once a day to .25 once a day. Some will say this SHOULD not be hard to do. But, we are all different in coming off these meds. Listen to your own body, go slooooow, reduce by small doses (like .125 per cut) and stabilize on each cut before going to the next cut. Takes as long as it takes.
This is the third time I have had to come off these meds in my life. This time has been the hardest. I will never go back on them again, and once off, will stay off somehow. I am 63. My first round was in my early 40s, second round abut 5 years ago and then a year ago again. Anxiety disorder is so hard, and the meds felt like a saviour. However, eventually we do get dependent so choices have to be made. I hope you are all doing well and know you are not alone.
I took klonopin for 24 years 1mg twice a day. Started process of going off in January 2018, last took does in July. Still going through withdraws. Hot flashes all day, will they ever go away?
Think you should be ok I am fourteen days off Valium after tapering down to 2.5 per day just starting to feel a little better today,it’s good to write down how you are each day as to look back on as we can be confused during the day army days and we can judge our progress ,good luck you will get well in time;
I've been taking a low dose for five years. .25 once a day. I know, not much but I'm super sensitive to it. I want to wean off. I've been doing every other day. Is that a good way to wean??? Then do every three days??
Some people (about 70% of the population) will have little trouble getting off even if they go off cold turkey. The remaining 30% have varying degrees of trouble and lengths of time required to withdraw with tolerable symptoms. Most of the 30% group (85% or so) will be free of symptoms within 18 months of finally taking the last dose. If you find that you are really sensitive, your best bet would be to decrease no more than 10% each month, getting off the last little bit in 10 months. Some people have to go slower.
I think it would be better to have some in your system everyday if you are super sensitive like I was. I had my doctor give me a compounded Rx where I decreased I/8 of my dose every two weeks. Since you are taking just .25 you may want to consider cut your pills in 1/4 and decrease that amount every two weeks and see how you do.
Thank you. That makes sense.
Am not sure where you are located, but if you can get ahold of some edibles/cartridges/buds (whatever your preferred method of consumption is), that may help get you through the worst of it. Not knowing I should have tapered off of mine, I quit abruptly a month and a half ago and haven’t felt this good in years. I didn’t have to deal with the severe withdrawal (for once) that I am usually ridiculously hypersensitive to when coming off even low doses of major meds, and I attribute that to the MMJ I started shortly before that. Food for thought. As I understand it, when tapering off or stopping benzos, the first week-and-a-half to two weeks are the hardest, and symptoms should start to subside by the end of week 2. Good luck, and I’ll be sending lots of good wishes your way. If you have any questions about my... er... “accidentally effective” method of handling the process, give me a shout.
You are very fortunate. I tried tapering off and horrible psychological and physical symptoms. Even with weaning off 1/8 of a .5 milligram pill every two weeks.
I finally went to medical detox in a hospital and it was one of the best things I could have done for myself. That was almost two years ago and I am so glad to be off that nasty Drug that almost ruined my life.
A big caution to others who may be considering a clinic-based detox: If you happen to be in the 30% of the population who, possibly for genetic reasons, has a great deal of trouble withdrawing from benzos, clinic-based detox programs withdraw the patient much, much too quickly, the last thing someone in the 30% group should do. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell ahead of time if you are in the 30% group or are one of the lucky 70% who have little trouble withdrawing.
My response re stopping K as a contest was intended for another string: one for those of us who have no intention of stopping and support each other in staying on it. I notice scant reference here to dealing with the anxiety disorder that the K was originally prescribed for. That doesn’t magically disappear. The 30% with great problems getting off are probably the ones who should stay on it. The w/d symptoms for these folks are really not w/d at all. Just the anxiety they were initially put on the drug for.
That is 100% inaccurate. Taking a benzo down-regulates (makes inactive) GABA receptors, which has been documented in rodents. GABA receptors are involved in calming the nervous system. When these receptors are down-regulated, the nervous system, to maintain balance, then up-regulates glutamate receptors, which stimulate the nervous system. This receptor state persists into withdrawal, and for some people it persists for a long time, possibly for genetic reasons. This receptor state throws those in withdrawal into extreme sympathetic dominance, which explains the symptoms that occur in any body system where the receptors are located. Withdrawal is entirely a physiologic situation, and is entirely unrelated to anxiety. MDs, however, at this point are only trained to see pathology and routinely mistake the symptoms of sympathetic dominance for anxiety, etc.
If you want to treat your anxiety without drugs, look into the Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook. Anxiety is tied to adrenal fatigue, which most in the US have. Follow the mineral rebalancing protocol used in that group. Many people comment that anxiety and depression disappeared when they did so. It is not fast, however.
Here is an example that makes more clear that withdrawal is physiologic, not psychologic. Many people with muscle spasms (not anxiety) have been prescribed a benzo. When those people decide to withdraw, they show exactly the same set of withdrawal symptoms as someone who was prescribed a benzo for anxiety. Withdrawal is simply not new anxiety.
Thank you for the clarification.
You're not seeing anyone telling you what to do about the anxiety because there aren't any better treatments for it. The problem with clonazepam is that it doesn't treat anxiety either. It just numbs you out. So you still have anxiety, you're numb, and eventually you have horrible withdrawal problems as each dose wears out.
Anecdotally people get benefits from the drug that dare not speak its name.
Yes, you are experiencing interdose withdrawal. If you went to an MD, they would want to give you more clonazepam, because they don't recognize that what you are experiencing is interdose withdrawal. It is not really new anxiety. I definitely understand the numbing. It is not a good drug.
To Ann Sukys
It's seems like the benzo w/d support sites universally assume that long-term Klonopin use is not desirable. The drug's mfr's know very well that most people don't take this stuff for three weeks then stop, despite their cautionary advice. They likely state that to CYA. They really have never done any long term studies on K w/d so how could they advise on getting off and the symptoms that might develop, or even what the long term effect are of using it. Ironic, since TV ads for all sorts of new drugs have all the conceivable side-effects, enumerated to a ridiculous extent. But nothing from mfrs about hazards of going off K. But my main point is that perhaps going off K is not the best thing for some people. I'm 76 and don't plan to go off it, tho I might under certain circumstances (unexpected side effects).
I participate on a message board similar to this one where we support each other in resisting the siren call of the anti-K legions who almost seem determined to get everyone off of it. The question I always ask is what happens to the symptoms that resulted in the prescription in the first place. They WILL still be there when you are off K. Maybe worse since the detox effects will combine with the baseline anxiety. This never seems to get addressed tho you did say something about magnesium treatment for anxiety. That's certainly not a mainstream, medically acknowledged method tho perhaps it's helpful. So is exercise which I do for at least an hour a day. This is a very complicated topic, and glibness and faux certainty about it isn't helpful for everyone, in my opinion. p.s. I tried several times to get of K before capitulating. I was down to .125 and my p.m. anxiety was intense, sleep poor. From reading comments here, those symptom might have gone away. For me, those, 18 months of lingering symptoms is unacceptable. I may not live that long. So I'm satisfied to take my .25 in the morning and again before sleep. As noted by someone here, the substance that can't be named does have usefulness in this regard, by removing you from sensory stimuli that aggravate your worst w/d system. As a permanent solution, I can't say since I haven't gone that far with it, Some nights a small dose of an indica dominant hybrid strain (in candy form for me) is the right thing to do (some drowsiness in the am, usually cured by caffeine). I live where this legal so it can't apply to those in states with no provision for either legal sale to anyone, or medicinal usage. Life's a bitch and then you die. Enjoy today as well as you can and don't let your K usage work too much on your thinking brain. No one should have to go thru torture to get off a med. Use valium with a longer half-life if you really want to get off. That's a common approach by some pdocs.
There are many reasons why those on this thread decided to discontinue. Myself, I read that benzo use may correlate with Alzheimer's. That study may have been partially invalidated. Also, benzos disrupt mineral balance. Long term disruption of mineral balance tends toward ill health. It does take a long time, though.
Your point is well taken. A chiropractor told me that from what he has seen, 50% of those on benzos will never get off because the withdrawal can be so horrible. Your attitude is good. Take it and don't worry.
I am pretty sure the pharmaceutical companies well know the danger of long term use. They are wily types. I have a degree in pharmacy. I used to think drugs were absolutely marvelous things. I have vowed to take none in the future unless I break a leg or something and need surgery. In the meantime, I am learning lots about how to improve health in general so that I don't need them.
Best.
I'm as anti-drug as anyone. I look at all the bottles on my sink and want to scream sometimes. But as someone with manic-depression, which has caused untold havoc in my adult life, I needed pharmacological help. Lamictal and Latuda (only recently) are two I landed on which seem to preserve my stability, particularly Lamictal which I regard as a wonder drug. Virtually no side effects (a little with balance) and protection from Uber-deep, hopeless depression which effectively renders me helpless. As for K, I'm still a bit conflicted and 'going for it', for now. My quality of life is better NOW, and that's important to me. It will allow me to go to Spain next month for the 50th anniversary celebration of a friend from long ago who I care for dearly. I couldn't manage the trip without K. So it's a little of "pay your money, take your chances' sort of thing. You don't get out this deal alive.
Very true. I hope you have a terrific trip.
Thx. Appreciate your thoughtful comments on this thread.
robfur you are right on target with your responses. I was on K for 24 years and it helped a great deal. The last 8 years it gave me suicidal thoughts so I had to go off it. The thoughts are gone but the withdrawal is terrible. It’s been six weeks since last dose and hot flashes and anxiety are very persistent. I agree with you, if the med works and is last resort stay on it. I would have but the bad thoughts were getting the best of me.
Anxiety can stem to trauma and/or physiological imbalances which are multifocal and have nothing to do with benzodiazepines fixing them. Meds just cover up the symptoms. A good functional medicine doctor or naturopathic doctor will see what metabolic a nutritional deficiencies might be affecting you to cause the anxiety or not be able to deal with it through regular methods such as counseling or meditation or exercise. unfortunately once you're on a cocktail of medications it's hard to tease out this information but it's the best way to get yourself on the way of healing if you're not going to do a formal detox as an in patient. These medications are only a crutch and they disable people because without them then they cannot function. That's not due to the original anxiety, that is a physiological withdrawal symptom which needs to be addressed properly.
Dear Ann Suits,
I've read your comments since 2016, and was wondering how long it took to feel "normal"? I am now 4 months totally off clonazepam and still having ringing in ears, breathing issues, hot flashes etc. It has been a struggle. I've visited all medical specialists as per my complaints and all is normal ?? I told them all about coming off clonazepam and they tell me impossible... Just want to feel better. Any advice would help. I was on Benzo Buddies and my laptop said it was a non secured site, so I got off.
