I am starting to panic. I am down to 1 mg. of clonazepam after taking 3mg. for 7 months. I have been?

experiencing terrible symptoms for over 5 weeks now (tremor, anxiety/fear, agitation) the first 2 weeks were the worst. But I still feel these symptoms for most of the day (especially in the morning). When will this stop? Do I have to get rid of the 1mg. I am taking in order to start getting relief, or is this a mistake? Can I remain at 1 mg., and my body will get used to it? Help! This hurts!!
Why are you on a lower dose suddenly? If your doctor has decreased your dose, tell him/her that you’re having withdrawal symptoms that are pretty bad. If your doctor didn’t approve this decrease and you’re just doing this on your own, start taking your regular dosage again.
Go back to your prescribing Doctor immediately to review your symptoms. It sounds as though the new dose is no longer theraputic.
Have you been offered access to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or Neuro Linguistic Programming? These are basic talk therapies which may help.
Good luck.
