i was on klonopin .5mg morning and evening and feeling like shit. so my doctor along with my psychologist put me on a plan to go to xanex and then get rid of that. i was to take .5mg in morning and .25 xanex in afternoon and reduce the klonopin to .25mg at night. I have done this part so far and now am supposed to take .25mg xanex in place of the .25 klonopin at night so it would look like .5mg klonopin morning .25 xanex in afternoon and .25mg in evening. What does everyone think i am experiencing even withdrawal symptoms from the small amount i tapered however i am deterred. help

I have not ever taken klonopin. I have been taking xanax for nearly 2 years and I have not had any side effects from it. I hope you are able to feel better with the xanax. I have had months that I took xanax as much as the doc allowed but now I only take it as needed. I take it most often at night to relax my mind because I have a hard time getting it to stop some nights.

I am not a doctor, but used to work in a Detox. Both Klonapin and Xanax are Benzodiazepines, so I am not sure if you would be experiencing withdrawal. But I think you should definately call your doctor.

Hope you feel better
