You are now physically dependent on Klonopin and will of course experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop the med abruptly. (Abrupt cessation from 4 mg is also very dangerous!) The only way to find out if your anxiety disorder in remission is to try a VERY slow taper. If you cannot manage that, then it is likely you still have the original disorder. By the way, does the klono still work well for sleep? My pdoc wants me on 2 mg Klonopin for my anxiety and insomnia. I'm currently on Zyprexa, but the possible side effects scare me.
