A member asked:
Can you get withdrawal symptoms from suddenly stopping klonipin, even if it's only 0.5mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Clonazepam (Klonopin) is a powerful medication that suppresses certain chemicals in the brain. It is used now mostly for anxiety but was originally developed as an anti-seizure drug. Stopping clonazepam suddenly can lead to tremors, irritability and seizures. Reduce the dose slowly and ONLY under the guidance of a physician experienced with benzodiazepines.
