Getting off Klonopin or benzodiazepines

Posted by jon137bus on April 15, 2006, at 6:27:13

Greetings members,

I was given Clonazepam (0.5mg) and Ambien (10mg) as sleeping aid by my doctor. I only learned about the dependency nature of these drugs after coming to this website. Ouch!. I was using the Clonazepam for almost 4 weeks and Ambien for about two weeks. Is this period of usage long enough to develop dependency ?. I have a nagging suspicion it is because I have problem sleeping when I stop taking these pills cold turkey. Am I doing something silly by going cold turkey ?.Will the remnant of these drugs in my body fade away over the next week or so ?. I have been prescribed Xanax and that's why I stopped using the other drugs.
