Wow, I've taken 2mg Clonazepam in am and 2mg Clonazepam in pm for 7 1/2 years?

I'm not sure what all the long term consequences are of taking Clonazepam everyday. Physical and possibly psychological dependency are probably the main ones. You've been taking that drug for a long time. I hope you've had a very competent doc giving it to you, and I hope you really needed it. If so than that's fine. But I've seen too often where a doc who even I thought was competent, really wasn't so much. Some of them do feel guilty and responsible once you make them understand they fucked you up. But nevertheless, it's you who then has the problem. Not them. So I just hope you needed all that Klonopin. As you may know, Klonopin is a Benzodiazapine. That means several things. One is that it causes physical and psychological dependency or even addiction. But the bad thing is you can't just quit a Benzo abruptly. With any Benzo, you have to slowly wean off it.

If you don't you can have seizures, or in the worst cases a few people died from trying to quit Cold Turkey. After 7.5 years you're going to have to taper off very slowly, over a long period of time. I hope your doc knows how to do that. If done properly you won't suffer much. So let us hope so.

As far as I know with Adderall, depending on how long you have been on it, you can stop almost abruptly, or at least quite quickly, compared to a Benzo. You'll be tired, and possibly even exhausted. Maybe even some depression. I took Adderall for a few months, and when I had to quit it, there was little to no depression at all. This is in stark contrast to Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine used to make me so depressed I almost never wanted to use it again. But Adderall is a mixture of 4 different amphetamines, and for me, they have developed a compound that no longer makes me depressed when I have to stop it.

Why did your doc say you have to quit the Adderall first? May I ask.
