When I tapered off 2-3mgs/day Klonopin, I got terrible headaches. Only Midrin really worked, and probably because it has a sedative in it (just my guess).
My sleep was messed up. My anxiety came back plus extra. Ugh...rough, rough times.
On the plus side, my tapering experiences led me to search for other ways to deal with agitation and anxiety. I now do old school, Dr.Hoffer style Orthomolecular (b3+C+b-complex+whatever else you want). The OM has been helpful...not only am I less anxious, I don't get tremor and twitches from my Abilify.
I've read elsewhere that the ideal taper involves a switch to an equivalent dose of Valium, then a slow taper off Valium. I don't know how many docs actually do that, though.
