Withdrawal: Which one do you have withdrawal? Withdrawal is a common reaction when stopping these meds. It is best this is lower the dose slowly. Ask your doctor for help don't do it alone. You have to accept the withdrawal as you lower the dose as a passage towards and better goal. Klonopin usually has some serious effects when stopped but then other medications in its class. Speak to your doctor.
