I am currently prescribed Valium 25mg a day for anxiety/agoraphobia, been on this dose daily for 17 years. I was prescribed Klonopin 1mg to be taken daily 9 years ago for the same reason, anxiety and agoraphobia.
A few years ago I started to taper my Valium. I went from 25mg a day to 10mg a day within 5 months. Some slight withdrawals like anxiety. I have been taking 10mg every morning now for the past few years.
I started my Klonopin taper but it is so so much harder to withdraw than Valium.
My question is...... Why is Klonopin a lot harder to withdraw from, does it contain other things than Valium? Klonopin kind of made me happy and very very effective for anxiety.....But I hit tolerance thus me needing to withdraw.
Both of these meds are benzos, so why does one make you feel drowsy (Valium) and the other one happy (Klonopin) ?
Current dose of both meds is 10mg Valium in the morning when I wake up.
Klonopin around 5pm and current dose is just under 0.125mg, a very small dose.
Any insight if K has another compound in it like an anti-d or something else would be great to know.
Thanks in advance for any any replies/help/advice.
