Just started 45mg a day, stopped my benzo intake and just mirtazapine for sleep. I get that brain buzz all the time
Is mirtazapine also used for alcohol and benzo withdrawals?

I find it hard to believe that your MD has just stopped your Clonazipam. You definately need to wean off slowly! It can be harmful to come off of it too slowly. Is there more to this story that we don't know?

Just wanted to caution you that stopping a benzodiazepine abruptly can cause seizures. Best to taper off this slowly over time to avoid any consequences.
