I take klonopin for anxiety an dhave been taking for about a year. I read something about Madonna being on klonopin for a few years and she tried quitting and she said it was harder to quit then cocaine. Im scared because eventually I would like to stop taking klonopin.

I have been taking 1 mg klonopin a day for a year and this week I missed three days worth because I was out of town and ran out. Much to my surprise I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms.
My brother who is a pharmacist said to reduce by 20% every two weeks to come off totally. I think I am just gonna go to .5 mg daily for now since I didn't have trouble missing three days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My addictions Dr. weans lots of people off klonopin, by switching them to valium and then tapering the valium off over a period of months. Too fast a taper can be horrific.

I have been on klonapin for almost five years. I am doing an ultra slow taper for safety. Pdoc is unknowlegeable about safe withdrawal. I finally gave up on getting her advice and am in control of how I do it.

My withdrawals from almost any pmed is terrible, same with klonopin. BUT, years ago I was coming off of Zoloft, and my saving grace was surprisingly Claritin. I started taking it for allergies obviously but something about these types of medicines can reduce withdrawal symptoms. Benadryl worked as well, but it makes me so sleepy.

Cocaine is rather a predominant psychological addiction it's a mental battle rather Klonopolin is slightly different. I say this from experience.
