I have been prescribed Klonopin in the past but decided not to take it because I was afraid of it. I have a highly addictive personality. However, I astonished myself by quitting smoking within the last year. But now I’m crazy irritable & anxious and these feelings are leading me into depression. I have an appointment with my MD Thursday to go over my meds. I’m wondering if Klonopin comes up again I should give it a go. I’m concerned if I would be just replacing a vice for another vice…. or should I keep in mind I am capable of quitting an addiction should it come to that.

Does anyone have any experience in quitting both? And if so how does it compare?

Cigs were much harder for me to give up than klonopin. But I was able to give up cigarettes in 1994. I gave up regular use of klonopin last year, but have had to start back using it this year because my anxiety has come back. I gave it up for a year. I weaned myself off and didn't have any trouble.

I'm on a low dose of klonopin but don't have any experience with quitting cigs. However, I can stop and start the klonpoin without any issues.
