Well, I'm not going cold turkey. As I said, I'm taking out 10 more "balls" from the capsules for every day until I get to none at all. I'm on day 3 - meaning 30 balls out - and I'm feeling not as edgy as opposed to not taking it for days then taking it again. That was just screwing with my mind too much. I have gotten a couple of those brain zaps that I see people talk about, but they only lasted for a few seconds and then was gone. I think the worst thing happening to me at the moment is the lethargy. I'm constantly sleepy but I'm planning to just ride it out and hopefully it will subside. And Amarie, I plan on kicking the klonopin as soon as I can get the cymbalta withdrawal behind me. But did you quit the klonopin cold turky or did you wean? And have there been any noticeable withdrawal side effects?
I was always on a low dose of klonopin. when i first started taking it i was on .5mg a day and i cut those inhalf, so half in the morning half at night. i'm a very thin person so my dr said my body would not need much. since i've been on the cymbalta which also helps anxiety i drew back from my klonopin so i went to only 1/2 of my .5mg tablet daily. i have been doing that for about a year when i decided to see if i could get off of it. i started by doing 1/2 of my .5mg tablet every other day for 2 weeks, then every 3 days for 3 weeks. then after that i only took it when i felt i really needed it. and i have only taken 1/2 of my .5mg tablet in almost 25 days. i will always keep some on hand in-case i feel a panic attack coming on. and as far as withdrawals go i know everyone is different but my side effects were nowhere near as harsh as it is for cymbalta. sometimes i felt winded or dizzy and i just pushed through. also coming off of klonopin can make you feel anxious so keep that in mind. i definitely would wean bc i know klonopin can effect breathing, so be careful.
