Hi. Yes, and yes. I was prescribed Klonopin about twenty years ago when benzos were *THE IN THING*. I have tried to come off k-pin several times over the years. Every attempt was absolutely awful, even though I titrated the k-pin down very, very slowly. The longest I managed to stay off was about 10 months. I felt horrible, really sick mentally and physically, the entire time. Ended up going back on the k-pin. I desperately want to come off the stuff, but every time I drop the dose even by a tiny fraction I'm a mess...sleep problems, terrible anxiety, agitation, racey-crazy stuff in my mind/brain. I am so afraid of never being able to come off the stuff, or spending my life horribly sick from trying to come off it.
