Okay I’m slightly confused on the timeline of klonopin withdrawals vs. what I’ve been experiencing. I know it can be different for everyone but I was just hoping that someone could offer insight. I’ve been on clonazepam 1mg at night for about 1 year 3 months for anxiety. I lost half of my monthly prescription by stupidly knocking it into the trash and not realizing it until it was too late. I have never ran out of a script before. My last dose was on October 10th. On that particular day I did something I don’t usually do and I took .5mg in the morning and .5mg at night instead of the whole 1mg at night. I was going in for surgery the next day and was anxious so I decided to take it that way and that was my last dose. In the early morning hours of the 12th I started experiencing nausea, diarrhea, extreme tremors, panic attacks, crying, heart palpitations, sweating, extremely cold hands and feet, shortness of breath, and feeling like I’m dying. I didn’t put two and two together because I didn’t think I would go into withdrawal so soon since Klonopin has a long half life. Anyways, I ended up in the ER and they gave me .5 of ativan through my IV which only helped for a few hours. So far these symptoms have been happening every day since and today I’ve been having blurred vision, dizziness, horrible headaches, what feels like brain pressure, and jerking arms along with the other symptoms I mentioned before. I know the risks associated with CT benzos but there’s really nothing I can do to get more. My questions are, is it possible to experience withdrawal from klonopin after 2 days from last dose? Is it going to get worse? Tomorrow will be day 5 since last dose and so far the withdrawals are completely miserable but I’m managing okay now that I know what’s going on with me. I am taking fioricet for migraines which has butalbital in it (a barbiturate). Is it possible that the butalbital is helping with the withdrawal symptoms? Ive been scaring the shit out of myself looking at the benzo horror stories on here and while this is completely miserable physically and emotionally, I’m surviving. I just don’t know if it’s going to get horribly worse after 5 days or stay about the same. Oh and I had abdominal surgery on the 11th so currently trying to recover from that while go through withdrawals. Perfect timing right.
