hi...
sorry you're going through this, ive been there and it sucks.
here's what works (I was on benzos for years and you can't cut them cold turkey): have your doc switch yo to Valium (an equivalent dose to your current klonopin). taper with Valium over a couple of months--it takes awhile and if you don't want symptoms, definitely don't do a fast taper. Valium is the only benzo to taper with.
I would consider going off the lyrica & starting a low dose of lexapro (10 mg). the lexapro and Valium taper should really help. staying on clonodine can't hurt.
good luck!
