Can I cold-turkey on using Klonopin?!


Question: I have been taking Klonopin for 8 monthes, 6 tablets a day at night before sleep.

But I found I am better off not taking it.

I wish I could stop taking it right away.

Can I cold turkey taking Klonopin?

I am not taking them for the anxiety problem. I am taking them so that I can sleep better. Now I have found an alternative to the Klonopin, so I don't need to take them anymore.

And, Klonopin gives me weird nighmares.

Thanks for your advice.

No i would def. not do that!! It would be very hard. Why dont you do it slowly? Well what med is your dr giving you instead of Clonazepam?

Withdrawal-related:

Anxiety, irritability, insomnia
Panic attacks, tremor
Seizures similar to delirium tremens (with long-term use of excessive doses)
Many individuals treated on a long-term basis develop a form of dependence known as "low-dose dependence", as was shown in one double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 34 therapeutic low-dose benzodiazepine users
