I was on Klonopin a long time ago,I was perscribed it for anxiety. I don't remember the miligram's,but at the end I was on 7 or 8 pills a day. I was only 17 at the time. I was finally taken off the Klonopin by a different doctor,and I remember the withdrawl's being terrible. When you are on Benzodiazapines,you need to taper off,to avoid going through withdrawl's. I guess I would try and speak with the doctor on call,and see if he can perscribe some medication to help you go through the withdrawls. Good luck. Laura
