> Hi this is Tess, I have been taking Diazepam 2mg for the past 1 week and 2 days now and I am getting the with drawl. I have been getting Panic Attacks every night now and it is not like me getting Panic Attacks, I only get them 2 times a week. I was just wondering why am I getting them every night now because I feel depress and I start to cry alot now.
Hi Tessie,
I feel for you, I really do. I am pysically dependent on Klonopin and would love to wean off it but know I cant. I can't stand the panic.
As far as your sitation, I would echo Phillippa's qestion--is a doctor supervising your withdrawal? It sounds to me (and I have a lot of experience with benzodiazepines) that you are trying to wean off too quickly. The panic attacks and the depression happen to me too if I lower my dose. I cry and do nothing except sit on the couch scared to death. So I always go back.
Please keep posting here. We care about you.
Marsha
