I think Klonipin is making me feel chronically ill
I started taking Klonipin about a year ago for agoraphobia and panic attacks. SSRIs and hydroxyzine didn't touch my panic attacks. I am prescribed 0.5mg but only take 0.25 daily. However, I noticed that since starting Klonipin I'm hardly have enough energy to get through the day and struggle with muscle pain and dizziness. Klonipin helps immensely when I'm having a panic attack, but I don't think it's worth the tradeoff of not having any energy and feeling like I'm coming down with the flu all the time. Also if I skip a dose I can almost guarantee I'll have panic attacks, when before Klonipin my panic attacks were way more infrequent.
Would I need to worry about seizures if I stop 0.25mg? How would I ween myself off such a low dose safely? Thanks!
