Klonopin withdrawal and dysphoria. Please Advise!

Posted by Mishal on October 7, 2002, at 2:10:48


Hi,

I am new to this forum. I have been on 1 mg of rivotril that is klonopin in U.S. for over a year and now on the process of withdrawal. Within a couple of weeks I could cut down the dosage to half, but I feel severe dysphoria and apathy. Drug was prescribed to treat the concentration difficulties and did wonders to me. I never made an increase in the prescribed dosage over this year. My question is should I really need to quit this drug ? I have heard that this kind of medicines are very hard to withdraw once you get used to it. That is why I try to quit before it makes a habituation if not addiction. But when my actual problem(Concentration difficulties)comes back along with dysphoria and lack of interest, I think I will have to rethink. Is there any antidepressant with anti-anxiety properties, and without much sexual problems, that I can use instead of Rivotril? Or is it simply better on Rivotril alone than on an antidepressant ?
