> Interesting. My pdoc once assured me anafranil is not an addictive drug and whenever I wish I can stop it cold turkey. But he was cautious on klonopin and warned me it can be addictive and never try to come off it without tapering. All I am experiencing is contrary to what I heard from him. It is better to say nothing of the quality of my sleep now. It is very poor. Tooth grinding, involuntary movements and nightmares, all makes it a hell. Yesterday, I took a little bit of klonopin to help me sleep, still it hardly helped. I think I will up the dose of klonopin and after one or two weeks when my body gets adjusted to the absence of anafranil, will drop klonopin also. What do you think?

Hey Alexander
I don't have much experience of Benzos, although I can't imagine a little Klonopin now and again will do much harm.
Regarding the addictivness of drugs I don't know if you should trust your doctor, I was told Dexedrine was addictive and yet I stopped taking 30mgs a day cold turkey, no problem!
On the other hand Clomipramine seems to be another story..... I to have noticed poor quality sleep coming of it.
