I have been taking Klonopin for anxiety and IBS for over a year now. Any suggestions for getting off of this medicine. I feel panicy when I don't take it, however I do not want to take this medicine anymore.

It is not wise to dicontinue any mediacation without the supervision of a physician! Most medications , you must be weined off gradually!Good luck!

then dont take it....quit using the excuse of panic.of course you arent going to like the way you feel when you are trying to quit using an addictive narcotic.

Talk to your doctor - but do not try to stop taking it before speaking with your doctor. You can suffer dangerous withdrawals without properly. Tell your doctor everything you are feeling about the medicine and work with him/her to find the best solution for youl

It is OK to want to stop but, you need to be tapered off. Stopping suddenly will cause you to have withdrawal symptoms. I do not know how much you are taking, a 15% cut every three to five days is safe. It would be best do so this under a DOCTORS SUPERVISION.

Please consult your doctor before getting off of this medication. It needs to be tapered down dose by dose over an extended period of time..you can't just stop taking it all together. You need to be monitored by your doctor over this time to make sure things go smoothly.
