Hi. I've been on Klonopin .25 twice a day for almost 3 months. I was a mess three months ago while trying to get on an ssri. With the help of the Klonopin I'm now on 10mg of celexa and feel good! I'm ready to stop the Klonopin as I think now it is just making me tired. I'm sure my doc will agree to help me stop the Klonopin tomorrow as she wasn't planning on it being long term, only until I got stable on Celexa. I'm scared to death of for some reason having horrible withdrawal. I had an awful experience coming off cymbalta after 12 years and now finally feel good again. Should I be this terrified of coming off Klonopin after 3 months? All I see is horror stories online!

    I want to ask you when did you get to start sleeping on your own without the help of klonopin? You said you were on or still taking celexa? I'm 9 days on zoloft and I still can't fall asleep on my own. I take the zoloft in the morning. Last night I didn't want to do a klonopin but laying in bed for two hours I couldn't fall asleep. It's still the anxiety. Finally I did .5 klonopin and went to sleep. My doctor said it's fine to do the klonopin at night till zoloft kicks in. When will that be?
