After 2 years of 2 mg klonopin I quit cold after losing my bottle, and it was hell. Trying to get more I was treated like a drug addict, so I felt on my own. It made me so angry, to have someone prescribe such a dangerous drug without letting me know what i was getting in to! The worst hell was over within a week, after that it was tolerable severe distress- especially at night. Paranoia, wavy ground, panic attacks, inability to interact normally with people, suicidal depression lasted for that full first week. Sleep was out of the question for about two weeks. Lots of sleep jerks and scares. After that, severe vice-like chest constriction and breathing troubles continued at least another two weeks. Much better now, but I still can't say I'm normal.
I tried to flush myself with lots of excercise and water and antioxidants like blueberries- but I have no idea if that did anything. I heard magnesium can be relaxing, but I really don't know for sure.
