Clonazepam - Really hard to get off it?

Posted by zuzu80 on September 25, 2004, at 12:55:20

Hello everyone,

I been experimenting with Clonazepam for my Social Anxiety and it looks like 1 to 1.5 or even 0.5 mg a day can do wonders to me! However I am worried about the withdrawal when I decide to get off it.

I am considering taking it daily and for a period from 6 months to a year or more. But I get discouraged by the HORROR stories of Clonazepam withdrawal. Is it true that one can never stop taking it ?!

From medical/scientific litterature it looks optimistic. One can discontinue taking it if withdrawal is done VERY gradually. Like going down 0.125 mg every 2-4 weeks. I am prepared for that but not to be forced to continue taking it for the rest of my life (I am just 22).

Please share your experiences and ideas...

Hugs,
Christine
