I started taking clonazepam about three months ago to assist with insomnia. I started on 1mg at night and ultimately ended up on 2mg.
Anyway, it didn't seem to help much (with sleep or anxiety), so I started cutting down by 0.5mg a week. I was finally on 0.25mg for the past two weeks and stopped completely two days ago.
I also cut my Memantine dose down to 5mg ten days ago. Now when I initially tried Memantine at 5mg, it was causing some anxiety, but for the past two days I've been feeling incredibly restless, jittery and uncomfortable (like I'm crawling out of my skin). My psychiatrist said 0.25mg was quite a small dose, but I tend to be sensitive to medication in general, so could I possibly be going through withdrawal?
It's rather unpleasant, so if so, how long could I anticipate it lasting?
