Stopping Klonopin

I've been taking xanax for 17 years non-stop. I have severe panic attacks. I've been on almost every antidepressant and none of them stopped the panic attacks. I'm now taking controlled release xanax. I take one 2mg pill every day. It has been the greatest drug ever for my panic attacks. It gives me a consistent dose throughout the day. I haven't had a panic attack since I've been using the controlled release version.

Why do you want to quit Klonopin? Is your ailment cured? My best advice for quitting a benzo is to do it very slowly and be patient. At my worst I was taking 12 mg per day of regular xanax. I was on that dose for well over a year. I was always so tired. I told my doctor that I wanted to lower the dosage as much as possible. We started doing it 1/8 mg at a time. Slowly over a period of about 3 years I was able to get down to my current dose of 2 mg/day. However, by going that slowly, I did not suffer any type of withdrawal. Your doctor should be able to assist you greatly with this. I wish you luck!
 
Interesting thread here. I've been on .5mg of Klonopin for the past 3 years and hever have upped my dose. That .5mg is the ONLY thing in the world that puts me to sleep and I've tried all prescription sleep aids. The problem is, after reading up on Klonopin, I read that it causes muscle fatigue and weakness. This all makes sense now because for the past several years, I could never figure out why I felt so weak in the mornings. The drug is still in my system at that point since I take it just before bed to sleep. The doctor wants me off of it and wants to put me on Lexapro but I don't want to take an SSRI. Do you all lift while taking Klonopin? Have you noticed yourself being weaker?
