Getting Off Clonazepam Klonopin or Any Benzodiazepine Can Be Terrible

Benzodiazepines Such As Clonazepam In My Experience Can Be Great In The Short Term But Are Terrible In The Long Term. Please Be Careful With These Drugs If They Are Prescribed For You From Your Doctor

    If you are like me then this will help Take Thiamine and Magnesium, the thiamine helps with OCD and claustrophobia and fear, and the magnesium helps with anxiety, they both help restlessness. I came off of valium on May this year after been addicted to Valium for years and I thought that was me stuck on these things, until I got so desperate I prayed to the Lord Jesus for deliverence, my prayer was answered through a sequence of events were I gained some knowledge about Thiamine deficiency which is bad enough but it also makes benzo withdrawal brutal, anyway I was tapering but I came to a halt then I started taking Thiamine and Magnesium Glycinate and in 7 months I was completely off of Valium and no nasty post acute withdrawals just total freedom from crippling fear, panic, terror thank God.

    @@pjprevite3021 When I was ready for my next reduction which I tried to do every 2 weeks, sometimes it would take 3 weeks, I broke a 5mg tablet in half and then I broke a little corner off of the half a tablet, roughly one 3rd of half a tablet, just a little crum off the end, so I was able to break a 5mg tablet into 6 pieces rather than breaking it into 4 pieces and this made things much easier, I could have made things even easier if I had got my hands on the 2mg tablets and tapered off of them rather than doing it with the 5mg tablets, the key is to taper very tiny amounts at a time as addiction is like a thick rope, and trying to break free without a major struggle is hard, however a rope is made up of lots of thin strands, we want to cut a little strand at a time and do this until there is one tiny strand left, and then the jumping off stage won't be difficult and thats what I did and it worked!, one tiny piece at a time. Ps Also I stopped drinking caffeine as i felt this made me anxious and I try to eat healthy as Im sure this helps, also I took Thiamine and Magnesium as a deficiency in these will make coming off benzos more difficult. Hope this helps you.

I found a great doctor and followed her instruction with my input also . going very very slow. If you're going to do it I would find a doctor that understands this first

    I've been talking benzos on and off the last 20 years. I rarely take them now but when I do I'll take.5 mg of clonezapam 2 times a day for maybe a week then quit. I'll still have withdrawal from such a low amount. 3-4 Days of bad anxiety, irritability, depression and can't sleep well. Point being I can take them occasionally and still have withdrawal

    Oh gosh I can relate. I could only take the Teva brand manufacturer the whole 30 years I was prescribed. If I took another brand they would throw me into what you’re describing. There is a difference in manufacturers for sure. The dyes, fillers, etc.

    New to your channel. I was on clonazapam for 2 years. 0.75 mg at bed for generalized anxiety disorder. Did a 6 month taper and was horrible. Wish i never took it. I havr been off for 28 months and still never have felt like i did prior to taking it. My biggest issue is that it has left me with chronic insomnia. Nothing has helped. At 55 im exhausted daily. I feel for anyone who has not felt the same after coming off!!

    Been slowly tapering for about a year, relapsing a few times. I'm jealous of people that say that quit this stuff (clonazepam) cold turkey with no side effects. I'm going through mental hell just dropping doses, I can't imagine CT'ing.
