Hi Abby, I am new here. My name is Michelle.
I am sorry to hijack this thread, but I wanted to get in touch with you because I know all about benzo withdrawal. I am six months benzo free. I went through a terrible taper the first half of this year and since then I have been dealing with a post withdrawal syndrome from Klonopin.
I only took Klonopin, 3mg daily, for a year and a half in total. But, let me tell you, it exacerbated my depression greatly. I became very suidical. I overdosed twice and was hospitilized three times... all while on Klonopin. Now, I have tinnitus from it. I wish so dearly that I would have never taken it. I also dearly wish that my doctor would have warned me of the risks, not kept me on it long term, etc...
People interested in benzo education should check out "The Ashton Manual". You can read it online and buy it to have your own copy should you choose. Also, sites like benzobuddies.org or benzoisland.org are great support sites for those tapering or struggling with unwanted effects from long term usage of benzos.
I am a member of benzobuddies. If anyone wants links to my threads there, let me know.
