> I know this is a strange question but I switched from generic klonopin to brand name because I thought the generic wasn't working. Tonight about a hour and half ago I took the name brand pill and went to bed as I was tired but relaxed. I just woke up in such a panicked state had a nightmare and couldn't move. I couldn't believe it. The only meds I took was the Savella which I have been taking for a month and this new brand name Klonopin 2mg.
> I don't know what to think. Has anyone experienced something like this after taking a benzo? Does anyone have any plausible explanation? Now I am all freaked out.
> Gosh, this is such a never ending story.
> ihatedrugsOMG, I just figured it out. I'm going through Ambien withdrawals. It is 5:30 am I have been trying to sleep but all I have is night terrors and immense anxiety. I thought it was the new Klonopin but it just seemed absurd. My dr. just took me off Ambien and eventually klonopin cause it is not helping with sleep. I went off the ambien cold turkey after taking it for about 2 years. I didn't realize it would be so problematic to get off. Dr. suggested a wean off schedule but I told her it wouldn't be necessary.
Has anyone here gone through ambiem withdrewal? How long do the symptoms last? They are horrid especially the nightmares where you are half awake and half asleep but are not able to move.
Thanks all
