I think personally benzos are harder to come off than opiates, but then again I came off just 60mg oc and 50mg fentanyol and I'm coming off of about 6mg of klonopin. I have detoxed many times (opiates only that one time) at least five times(xanax or klonopin or both) this is day 6 cold turkey of klonopin. I have major weakness, simple tasks are impossible to do. I havent slept more than 2-4 hours and wake many times at night. Normally I sleep very deeply and soundly. All my senses are heightened except sight which can be crazy. I have visual and audible hallucinations. The smallest touch and I will be freaking out. I have nerve pain that will not go away and seems to be getting worse started first signs of it yesterday. I have pains all over, constant panic and anxiety, like im about to die of heart attack all day. Can't think right, cannot concentrate, have crazy thoughts or dreams. Equilibrium messed up, one ear I can hear extremely well in so much sounds hurt I switch phone on ear and other ear heard sounds as if underwater and were unclear and less at times, irritability, waves of differences in moods and physical symptoms. I hope more people respond to thread I'm on day six no end in sight, hoping this time around would be easier since my duration of use was shorter. Last time I detoxed it took me a month till I felt somewhere near normal but I did feel a lot better and confident and energetic until I started taking them again and now I'm here. I don't want that to happen again. I wish you good luck girl. I'm never going in this vicious cycle again. Can't believe I keep repeating the insanity. I don't advice anyone to take this medication for a long enough time that you can get dependent on it because detoxing is friggin hell. So easy to get hooked on. I guess thats why i keep ending up here detoxing.
 
Of course benzodiazepines are harder to quit than opiates!

This thread was over a year old, please try not to necro post, I'm going to close this now, if you need to create your own new thread that's fine, you'll probably get more replies that way, catered just for you.

Any questions, PM me. Do not attempt to go cold turkey off benzodiazepines, do you have any idea how stupid it is for you to go 6 days CT without clonazepam? You're running risk of seizures, this is not how you get off this medication. You're extremely lucky that you haven't had seizures already. You should taper off this medication, slowly reducing your dose.

I'm going to go ahead and create a new thread for you so that you get more responses.
