Please tell her. The best approach is to work as a team with your doctor. When I went to my doctor last month for meds, she said at one point, "I can't make you take anti-depressants," and I loved her for that. Because I didn't want anti-depressants and she was acknowledging that as a patient, I have the final say. Instead, we explored other options and settled on first trying some non-AD meds for my symptoms. So hang in there. It's your body and you're in control. Please do not hesitate to tell your doctor your concerns about Klonopin and request a good protocol for getting off of it.
