Off all drugs (some withrawal)
Today is the second full day off of Klonopin. I have felt the effects both today and yesterday, but both days have been just a little bit easier than last week’s transition from twice a day to just evenings. Nausea and headaches.
One key difference: this time it seems to be getting worse over time, rather than getting better. Maybe the discomfort will get worse until a point when my body gets over the withdrawal and then I will feel increasingly better. This is unlike last week, when I was not removing the drug entirely, but rather changing the period in which I was taking it; once my body adjusted to taking the drug with twice the duration between doses, the disomfort relented.
I’m anxious about my last week on anxiety drugs
I’m clear at two years, but my aunt died last night
