I was prescribed 2mg of Klonopin once daily for the past two years. As of two weeks ago, my PC doctor cut me off (no, I am not joking or withholding info here) with no reason, no alternative, and no referral to another doctor/psychiatrist. Therefore, I have done what I needed to do and have found a way to take Xanax 2mg. I have NO idea how to figure out the conversion of the two medications (yes, I have googled and have come up with a multitude of answers), I have called in to other doctors (with no avail), and am experiencing what I believe are withdrawal symptoms. I am terrified to take TOO much or TOO little of this Xanax, but I am very uncomfortable. I know it has a shorter half-life, therefore I will have to take more (?), but I am currently taking one 2mg bar at bedtime. If anyone can help me out (please without lectures, I already feel the guilt/shame, panic, depression, and hopelessness of this situation), I would be forever grateful. I feel like I am stuck between the choice of possible death from withdrawal, or continuing to do something illegal that I cannot afford. I hate, hate, hate this...
2mg Klonopin switch to 2mg Xanax. Totally terrified?

I’ve been taking Xanax for 20 years. Began on .5 & still on that dose.
2 mg is Way Too Much I’m not even sure why they make those bars... The CDC has gave out false info on certain totals which caught the governments attention about 7 yrs ago... Drs are taking people off Xanax, Klonopin etc IF they’re on pain meds. You can thank all the idiots that abuse Xanax.. primary care drs don’t want to give benzodiazepines out & make ppl see a shrink. Plus every script the dr does write, the CDC ( govt) makes them fill out an abundance of paperwork. If you’ve been seeing a doctor for a Long time speak to them but I’ve never heard of anyone getting 2 mg. That’s way too much & im definitely a fan of Xanax but not for sleeping. Why not try Ambien or Melatonin or something?? I’d be afraid of 2 mg of Xanax. I’d probably sleep for days... or OD. I’m sorry but that’s Way too much... I hope you update me cuz with the New CDC guidelines I’m having a tuff time just getting .5 mg since both my longtime drs Quit because of the crap going on with the DEA too... Huge mess since govt got involved in our meds. One Senator told me to take Advil. I was run over my truck. Good Luck
