I've been taking 0.25mg of klonopin 2x a day. Once in the morning and once at night for about 6 months. I've talked with my doctor about how to start tapering off it. I'm curious what others people experience was tapering off a similar dose of klonopin. Did it go relatively well?View Thread
Hi, I take zoloft for my anxiety/ocd and recently started klonopin to help with the anxiety. I took .25mg 2x a day for two weeks and then started to do only .25mg 1x a day because it made me tired. I forgot to take my klonopin yesterday and was wondering if given the dose I was on and the amount of time I was on it is it likely I would feel withdrawal symptoms?View Thread
I've delt with panic and anxiety since I was 20. I've had setbacks before, always during times of high stress. I'm at another point in my life where the panic has set in big time. My panic/anxiety issues are related to my OCD. When my OCD attacks to something it just plays this continuous loop in my head of frightening terrifying thoughts. What this does is keeps me in a permanent state of fear and terror, constant state of arousal. I've been having trouble sometimes dealing with it in my home let alone venturing outside my home. I'm experiencing all the mental symptons of panic disorder, fear of impending doom, I'm going crazy, feelings of unreality. Occasionally I get some relief. Needless to say I've had to take a break from work. I have a strong fear of medication and have been unable to take the klonopin my doctor prescribed, even thought I more than anything want to take something that will take the edge off and bring me some peace so I can return to normal function. Just curious if anyone else has had similar experiences with anxiety. The combination of OCD and panic just turbo charges everything.View Thread
I've recently become a big fan of mindfullness. I will say it takes practice and commitment not giving up if it does not work immediately. I start reading a book called the Mindfulness and Acceptance workbook. Learning to meditate and stay present with your emotions learning to not become so entangled with the mind is important. I know easier said then done.View Thread
