The Pdoc who prescribes this meds, can not decrease the amount of tablets, so if he writes 0.5 mg, it should be 100 tablets in a plastic bottle. My doc prescribed klonopin as needed. Ive had it for like 3 months now and havent taken any until the last 2 weeks. My anxiety has been off the wall. This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to treat or diagnose.

Former Klonopin addict, Kelley McMillan struggled with alcohol abuse and was subsequently prescribed Klonopin for anxiety. She took 1.5 milligrams of Klonopin a day, always following her prescription, but eventually became addicted to it. I've never taken klonopin but I do take xanax and have experience weening myself off of those (I think they're somewhat similar). Your doctor said it was no big deal because it probably isn't, and that's mainly because its only been three weeks and you are on a low dose. Now 4 weeks off my life is: I'm becoming extremely agoraphobic, major anxiety, feel panic attacks coming when I go out, can hardly do anything and I can hardly do my work, I feel depressed. The same situation I was in after the acupuncture. Hi everyone, here is my update. I walked off klonopin at.002 one week ago and have been dong the keto diet for 3 weeks. I'm feeling good today. I have been on Klonopin for 3 weeks. 0.5 mg twice a day. I really don't know if it has done much other than make me get depressed more often. I went on it for anxiety. I had been fighting the anxiety with talk therapy for 10 months, but finally I just felt I needed something. I had asked my doctor I'm actually surprised. 2 weeks and going into 3 most are recovered well after just a few weeks on any medication. You may be over thinking it and just need medication in general for your anxiety. I took Klonopin for 2 years. 3 times a day. Feb 12, 2004 I came off at 2 a day for 1 week (7 days) then 1 a day for 13 days. finished with 1/2 tab for 4 days. I was done. Don't think of it as. About 3 months ago i went off of it cold turkey and had some pretty bad withdrawals: regular panic attacks, sleeplessness etc. After about 3 weeks to a month, the withdrawals subsided and i've been pretty stable since with the occasional panic attack.
