[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 260485, member: 43264"] [USER=44502]@t_spacemonkey[/USER], your advise is solid and should a warning for everyone taking benzodiazepines. I've read horrible stories of withdrawals, including [URL='https://www.benzoinfo.com/2020/12/28/stevie-nicks/#:~:text=Stevie%20Nicks%2C%20the%20former%20lead,at%20Red%20Rocks%20in%201986.']Stevie Nicks[/URL], the former singer of Fleetwod Mac, who went through hell because of it. Having said that, and without trying to persuade anyone to try Klonopin or not, I've been on Clonazepam for many years (5+), quit cold turkey, stayed off (for 2+ years), taken it as needed, again on, off and never had major withdrawal issues. Now currently using it "on demand" (almost every night), 0.5mg for sleep due to the anxiety caused by (I presume) T.Cyp. which seems to be worse after 1:30 am (don't ask me why, I fall sleep in less than 30 secs, then wake up very anxious at 1:30, take 0.5 mg of Klonopin, and back to sleep until 6:30 am) But having said that, I know that all benzodiazepines in general (all ---pams, like diazepam, clonazepam, temazepam, lorazepam, etc) are likely to create dependence and when quitting, withdrawal issues, in some cases, depending on the dosage and duration of treatment, life threatening symptoms. Bezodiazepines are not approved for the long treatment of anxiety (for 4 weeks only) but doctors dispense them as candy. The correct way of quitting a long acting benzodiazepine like clonazepam is to taper until you get to 0.5 or 0.25 mg per day, then switch to an equivalent short acting one, continue taper. All this should be done supervised by a qualified physician. [/QUOTE]
