I have been prescribed Valium and Klonopin for 17 years. I never knew long term effects were increased anxiety. I was originally put on them for anxiety/agoraphobia. I have been very very slowly tapering the dose of Klonopin for 2 years and not far to go.....But terrible anxiety even though my taper is incredibly slow. Any ideas on how to try and ease anxiety during the last part of my Klonopin taper? Thanks in advance for any replies/help

I don't have any magic advice but am going through a Valium withdrawal myself! I am on day 7 of a daily 5 month Valium habit and am only just turning a little corner! My best advice is patience & time! Keep going, your doin well!

Wow! 17 years? Must have been a tough experience getting this far Only advice I have is go to yoga classes. I think you will find meaning in the misery of the poses.
