I have been on and off Klonopin for many years. Each time I weaned off I got headaches. Sometimes throwing up with them. It will go away after your body adjusts to the medication change. Did your doctor wean you off? They usually don’t cut you back by half at first. It’s very gradual. Did the medication help you and how long before it really helped? I’m asking this because the doctor started me back on a high dose. Wondering when I will feel the full benefits?

The doctor wanted to cut right down to .50mg but I told him I wanted to go slow so we cut to .75mg then went to .62mg and went down to .50. It took me 6 weeks to get to .50mg

It may take a bit longer. Did it help with your anxiety? How long were you on it before you felt better?
