In reply to SSRI withdrawal versus benzodiazepine withdrawal, posted by Questionmark on June 29, 2004, at 1:25:46


Klonopin was much much easier to withdraw compared to the hell I suffered when I came off anafranil(An old SSRI). SSRI withdrawals are more of a psychologic nature, while benzo withdrawals usually represent physiological symptoms. What is more tolerable is upto the patient. Personally, I can tolerate any physical agony, but if my inner-self is weak, it is pure hell. I could stop six years of klonopin habit within 15 days. True, there were some minor physical discomforts, but those were only mild. But it took almost a year to get normalized after the last anafranil tablet I took. Benzos are far superior to SSRIs in terms of safety, withdrawal and efficacy.
PLS
