Oh my GOD, wow that is quite a story. I've never been above 4mg of it thank god but still, that is what I'm taking now and I know from missing that one dose last year that I will go into acute withdrawal if I stop taking it abruptly.

I've tried cutting my dose in half before... turned me into a psychotic insomniac... well, more of a psychotic insomniac,.heh, but still it ****ing sucked and I didn't realize it was withdrawal until I took the other 2 mg because I was desperate for sleep. Yeah, benzo withdrawal is no ****ing joke.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, frankly I had a horrific NP from 2010 until early 2013 and she's the one responsible for getting me hooked on a higher dose of Klonopin(I used to only take 1 mg). She was an idiot, decided that giving me benzos would make me sleep when well they don't because I have a tolerance for them now and benzos should be a last resort for a patient who can't sleep. There's so many other things someone can prescribe someone for sleep other than drugs that are so addicting and dangerous! But at the time I didn't know how dangerous this stuff is. All the stuff I know about medications now is from doing extensive research in the past couple of years. Ugh... I hate that NP's, pdocs, etc don't ****ing TELL you how dangerous these meds are!


I'm doing well mentally for the most part, even if a bit wrung out and ticked off. I have a bad cold, due to allergies and the air quality being absolute **** over here like it always is in May. I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia on Monday and while I'm glad I know now what the hell has been going on with me physically, I'm not happy about this at all obviously... I'm really angry, actually. Thanks for asking how I'm doing, that's really kind.
