hi there. i need your help and advise. i have been using klonopin about 2 years now. i am taking 3 mg a day. it was prescribed to me because of my panic attacks. recently i went to doctor and he told me to stop taking them but he didn't mentioned how . i tried to stop taking them but i had the most horrible withdrawal. i had chest pains/difficult breathing, my panic attacks were back, i couldn't sleep, i couldn't stand because my legs were shaking... i couldn't go through that... . i have started taking them again. have any of you experienced something similar? i need help!!! i think I am addicted. i need to stop taking them but i can't. please help!!!! have any of you take klonopin in the past and stopped? have someone had the same withdrawal?
