My experience with Klonopin withdrawal was very nasty! I have been on it for 3 years and felt it was doing nothing for my anxiety. I tapered off slowly, or so I thought, and things were worse than when I started. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. I couldn't go to the store, get gas, (although I HAD to)without feeling the worse paranoia I have ever felt in me life!! All I wanted to do, and most of the time did, was curl up in a ball and disappear. I even had a hard time talking to my husband without these paranoid feelings. This went on for a week and kept hoping the feelings would just go away. They did. Once my husband refilled my prescription. It got to the point I felt I was a danger driving because I felt so "not there. " Now, I don't think I'll EVER try to go off it again. Terrible to think I'm on something that doesn't work but it's worse if I don't take it. Ironic in every possible way. I have read that withdrawing from that is easier than Xanax,Paxi,etc. which I've never taken, but I don't ever want to try it again. Just MY personal experience and maybe it was just the "wrong week" for me to try not to keep taking it. (?) Good Luck.
