Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling with anxiety and depression I have this problem since I was in 7th grade and now I'm a sophomore in college. I was on clonezepam and two months ago I got off of it, that was one hell of a withdrawal process anyways, I'm always anxious and down all the time and feel detached from things now and I get intrusive thoughts sometimes I'm getting better at pushing them aside . I never want to do anything anymore but I also want to want to do things if that makes sense. I'm petrified to go back to school in two weeks for summer term what if I freak out or what if I fail? I keep thinking way to far ahead and I just feel like I'm never going to get any better. If anyone has some advice or coping skills if grately appreciate it. I am in therapy and everything.

Sounds like you're on a good road. Suffering aside you are actively working on it and that's a lot. I sure do understand the feelings you expressed and can relate. They will pass I assure you. Why are you no longer on the klonopin? How long did you take it? How much were you taking and how long did it take you to wean off of it? I know lots of questions but somebody's gonna ask them. Welcome and hang tight. This is a great place to be as you journey down this road. It is a road with an end.

Peace

I was on the klonopin from 7th grade till two months ago so about 6 1/2 7 years I was taken off of it because it's addicting that was the only thing that would get me to leave the house I took 1mg twice a day than went to just once a day it took me probably a month to wean off!

Did you ever try going on a ssri?

I've seen most people take an ssri along with a klonopin as needed.
