I've been on medication for 5 years. A couple months ago I decided I want off so now I'm taking half my geodon,150mg effexor and quit klonopin
Klonopin is evil by the way lol. I wish I never took it.

It's only been 2 weeks since I stopped klonopin but sometimes I worry that the withdrawal will never stop. I don't want to suffer anymore. Mentally I'm good but physically I feel awful. Someone tell me a success story so I can go on! Lol

I am totally off Klonopin, after a long titration. I am now taking Xanax instead.
I think effects can last for a long time, alas.

I am so sorry you are dealing with that! what kinds of side effects do you have? The mental good part is the positive! I was just reading something that says benzos destroy our gaba receptors, yikes. I only took lorazepam 4x last week and 2x this week and I feel like I became physically addicted for sleep. can't sleep without it i hope i can get through this.
