I have been detoxing off of Klonopin - with Klonopin. I was surprised they didn't put me on Valium as you and others have mentioned b/c of its long half-life. I finish my taper tomorrow, but I am still getting a couple of panic attacks a day. At least they are not all-day long anymore! It's amazing how most professionals are not benzo-wise. I was shaking uncontrollably and becoming psychotic until I finally, luckily, found the program I found.
Thanks for your post! As always, it is nice to hear from you. I hope you are well
