Default I have a sever panic disorder and is it safe for me to just stop taking klonopin? - 12-31-2008, 09:51 AM

I just started Klonopin on Wednesday and Saturday my mom made me stop taking it because she said I was acting blurred and sleepy! And I was sleepy, but the doctor said after two weeks he'd knock me down to .5 mg, if I still had these side effects. Anyway to convince my mom to let me back on them?

I have panic disorder too, but I only take Klonopin when I am really anxious. Maybe try a different medication that doesn't make you sleepy. Ask your doctor about it. I found that Lamictal worked well for my anxiety, but it gave me headaches. I stopped taking it and am starting Topamax tomorrow. There are plenty more options out there fore you.

Since you have been on it such a short time, you should be okay to stop it. However; normally you should not abruptly stop taking a medicine such as klonopin. Did your doctor not explain to you and your mom that you would be kinda out of it for a few days to a week? You should call your doctor and let them know that you quit taking it, maybe they can call and speak with your mother. Klonopin helps with panic disorder as well as GAD but it takes time for your body to get used to taking it.
