I could punch that doctor who put me on this stuff in this first place. I hate it, I hate how it makes me feel but god ****ing forbid I just stop taking it because now I have this physical dependence that I didn't know would happen when I started taking this ****. Nobody told me how physically addicting benzos are, I didn't even know what benzos were when I first started taking Klonopin. It makes me so furious when I think about it. Just UGH. **** this.
You have my sympathies, seriously.
I'm planning to start tapering this summer so I'll likely be a mess.

If you do it super slowly I don't think it will be too bad. Think in terms of taking a year or two to get off it. That's seriously not too long when it comes to getting off benzos and it shouldn't be too bad. ((Hugs))
