Follow-Up:
I have been on klonipin for about 5 yrs. For anxiety at first. Mostly for sleep towards the end. I am trying to go off of it now. I have done it very slowely under a doctors care. However, I am still experiencing terrible withdrawl symptoms. I tried going off it by myself once last year. But I ended up in the hospital, close to having a seizure. In my opinion, your nurse is right to question it. Although an effective medication, it is scarey to feel the way I am feeling now. I have been taking a quarter of a 2 mg. pill for weeks now, and still having a hard time.
