[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is you’re addicted to Klonopin and experiencing anxiety related to that/withdrawal/rebound anxiety. You can’t just quit it cold turkey, you need to taper down and possibly be given an anticonvulsant to prevent a seizure.

This post screams of mental health crisis, not medical crisis. [/quote]

This, this, a million times this!  I have a relative who committed suicide due to the Klonopin withdrawal/rebound anxiety.  Klonopin is NOT meant to be taken regularly.  Frankly, I have serious qualms about your psychiatrist if they prescribed Klonopin in a quantity that enables you to take it more than occasionally and/or if they’re enabling you to rely on Klonopin rather than find another med that is sufficient to treat you.

This is a mental health crisis.  It sounds like you need in patient treatment, possibly rehab, to come off the Klonopin dependence. BTW, another family member went to rehab for alcoholism and commented that there were more people there for benzo dependence than alcohol or any other drug.

You don’t have cancer.  And on the remote possibility that you do, it won’t be as bad as this anxiety that’s ruining your life.

I wish you the best of luck.  You will get through this.[/quote]
