   Withdrawl Side Effects..Clorazepate/clonazapam (Addiction & Recovery board)

6th June 2005
dear b
boy do i know what you are going through!!!. first are you from outside the usa? i have never heard of clorazepate but do know quite a bit about clonazapam withdrawal. i was addicted to lorazapam(ativan) for many years and still am but about 2 years ago wanted to quit so doc gave me clonazapam for the taper because it lasts alot longer than ativan. i think i tried to do it too fast but i don't think i can go through that again. i experienced all the symptoms you have and more including total loss of appetite and since i am a diabetic that is not a good thing. one thing that did seem to help a little was atarax which the doc gave me. it is basically used for itching but helps with anxiety and some of the withdrawal symptoms. i really feel for you. i did manage to stop completely for awhile but never did feel right. it stays with you for a long time. had to go back to ativan for severe anxiety and panic attacks. good luck
