Can this be past usage too? I used to be on diazepam (5 mg tablets I used to quarter). Then I was switched to Klonopin I think starting with 1 mg tablets, then moving to 2 mg tablets. I was on them for 30 years. At one point I was taking 14 to 17 mg of Klonopin per day. I worked it down to 4.5, then to 3 mg per day. At the time I was forced off them cold turkey in 2013 I was on 2.5 mg per day. I had to go inpatient to get off them. I have never been sicker in my life.

ETA: plus, I have benzodiazepene withdrawal syndrome with extreme rebound anxiety, sleep issues, tinnitus, dizziness, peripheral nerve damage, etc.
Thanks for this!
