Thank you so much, Ponder. It wasn't easy to work while going through withdrawal because it was our busiest time of the year. I just took it day by day which is what I'm going to continue to do. I...

Hi Everyone! I know it's been a long time since I posted but the last few months have been a bit of a wild ride. With the help of my doctor, I am now completely Klonopin-free. I tapered down from...

You made a very wise choice, Max. I started smoking when I was about your age (I'm 32 now) and it went from smoking just at parties to buying it in ever-increasing quantities. It became the first...

I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but I used to be a compulsive spender. I would use it as a coping mechanism when I was feeling depressed. The temporary high I got from buying a new watch or a...

I get anxious when I'm driving in an unfamiliar area or when it's a rainy night. I live in Pennsylvania and the winters here can be pretty rough, so I'm not a fan of that either. What I do when I...

I have tried that too. I don't understand why I have such trouble with something so simple. Handshakes are difficult for me as well.

I believe there's a document on the web called "The Ashton Manual" that was written by a British doctor and it tells you a taper schedule for Klonopin and all other benzos. Good luck to you.

I just started watching this one on TNT (Sundays at 9pm) called 'The Last Ship.' Virus wipes out most of the world and now a lone Navy vessel must find the cure. Eric Dane from Grey's Anatomy plays...

I used to like ABC's T.G.I.F lineup on Friday nights. I think it was Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, and another show that I can't think of right now. During the week, it was all about the...

A primary doctor flat out told me: "I can't help you. Make an appointment with a psychiatrist." I don't really blame him though. He was like 75 years old and probably just wanted to retire.

-Wasps and bees
-Driving in unfamiliar locations
-Public speaking
-Crowds

Two songs I enjoy listening to when I need to mellow out are "Darkness Darkness" by Robert Plant or "Sorcerer" by Stevie Nicks.

I had a similar experience with Paxil/Seroxat and I was fine in about a week.

I was a huge fan of the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the character Weyoun was one of my favorites in the entire series. He was like Kenny from South Park. They kept killing him and the...

Talk to your Dr. and tell him or her that you feel the medication is no longer helping you. They will help you taper off. I personally have never tried to go off Klonopin but a friend of mine who...

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Well, I really don't take the Abilify or the Viibryd regularly because the Abilify makes me feel like my head is connected to a car battery and the Viibryd has recently caused me some stomach issues....

Hi, shonaat. I had a similar experience when I went for my job interview back in 2007. It was a for a government job (which I found intimidating because it was with the government) and when I...

I've always had a problem making eye contact with people for more than 1-2 seconds. All my life, I've had people berating me for it. I know that it's deemed as rude and it shows lack of interest in...

Thank you for your response. I'm trying to break out of the 'nap cycle' by finding something constructive (i.e. exercise) to do instead of unnecessarily sleeping.

I had severe emotional blunting when I was on Zoloft 2-3 years ago. I was on 200mg a day and it just made me a zombie. One of my relatives died and I can remember telling my mother that it's a...

I've been on 3mg/day of Klonopin quite some time and there's a few symptoms I'd like to see if anyone else has:

-Short term memory impairment. I've had to drive back to my house sometimes twice...

I've been staring at this cursor for about 15 minutes now, so I'll just skip the witty intro and just type the basic facts. :)

-My name is John. I'm 32 years old and from Pennsylvania. I'm...
