Willow,

I have three questions and please answer them as soon as you can.

How long have you been taking the Clonazepam (Klonopin)?
What dose of the Clonazepam (Klonopin) are you on?
When was your last dose?
Do you have any left?

OK, why I'm asking. Klonopin can be very addictive for many. Many doctors prefer it over Xanax because it has a much longer half-life. While Xanax will work 3-4 hours, Klonopin can last up to 12-14 hours. While this is good for your anxiety, it is also good if and when you decide to titrate off the med because you can do it slowly with little withdrawal. However, if you stop cold turkey because of it's long half-life you may feel fine for the first few days, but then start to experience some withdrawal symptoms.

I don't mean to scare you with any of this, I'm just concerned about you. A lot of this is dependant on my questions. If you haven't taken it long, there probably won't be a problem. If you're on a low dose, any withdrawal should be very minimal. If it's already been several days and you haven't had any symptoms, then you should be ok. If you still have some left, then we can put you on a schedule to help you taper down slowly.

If it's only been a day or two is there a chance that you can call your GP to get an rx called in even if it's just for the purpose of tapering down? I hope I'm over-reacting here dear, but I do worry so about my friends and you know you one of my closest, right?

I'll keep checking in until I hear back from you.

A worried and nosey,
bp
