You can't abruptly stop taking this medication...See below. This is a drug you need to be weaned off of. You probably are experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Klonopin (clonazepam) may be habit forming. Physical and/or psychological dependence can occur, and withdrawal effects are possible if the medication is stopped suddenly after prolonged or high-dose treatment. Do not stop taking Klonopin (clonazepam) suddenly without first talking to your doctor if you have been taking it continuously for more than 5 to 7 days. Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the dose.You can't abruptly stop taking this medication...See below.
Yes, that's more than enough time for your body to become addicted and physiologically dependent upon the drug. Except some sleepless nights, but it will get better.
You should not go cold turkey with this drug. If you need to stop it, you must taper off it slowly. With the symptoms you have, it's urgent that you contact your doctor for further instructions.
