In reply to Klonipin withdrawal, posted by nichole on January 17, 2000, at 18:51:23
Dear Nichole,
Some people happen to be very sensitive to benzo withdrawal; I'm sure your symptoms were related to it. Usually at your dose (1mg) you can safely stop without risk of seizures- but sometimes there's a rebound anxiety with people who were treated for anxiety, insomnia, etc. I was on 6mgs/day of klonopin for 2 years for panic disorder and tapered fairly quickly because I was pregnant. I suffered daily panic attacks and some nausea for about 3 weeks once I had stopped. Hopefully your symptoms will end soon. Take care.
