> I have been taking 10-20 mg Celexa and .5 mg klonopin for 2 years. What would happen if I stopped both cold turkey. I would switch to Ambien so that I could get to sleep. What about danger of seizures from stopping the K? Would I just be uncomfortable for a while or in physical danger? Thanks for any input.

JMO, I'm not a big fan of cold-turkey stops.

I would taper the Celexa down at least over 1-2 weeks,
and maybe do the same for Klonopin (switch to 0.25 then
to 0). Although the Klonopin dose is pretty low as noted.

Some people are very sensitive to Klonopin however, and
there can be some rebound seizure like activity. It seems
people have been taking and stopping stroger doses than
0.5 mg when the significant rebound effects occured ...
