I did wean off Klonopin and I, like you was on it for 2 1/2 years - isn't that a coincidence? My weaning went really well. I cut 1/4 dose every 2 weeks and once I was down to .125 mgs for 2 weeks, I did an every other day thing for about a week and half. It was surprisingly easy for me. But, I do know of others who have a terrible time. We are all so very different. I've always stressed, too, what is great for me, is just a nightmare for someone else. I'm totally off any meds right now, but if my circumstances were to change, I wouldn't hesitate to restart Klonopin.
Truth be told, I was really scared of Xanax. I've known a few folks who got into some difficult issues with it and I was a little gunshy. Fortunately, the K worked out good for me and I was fortunate to find a good supportive doc willing to let me use it as monotherapy.
I do hope you work everything out. My heart is always with those suffering toxic anxiety - it's H*LL on earth.
