Hi, For The First Time I Was Prescribed Clonazepam To

Hi,

For the first time I was prescribed clonazepam to treat panic attack at sleep last november 28, 2016 and gradually tapering dosage per doctors advise. Now im on my second week of .0625 mg. I started 1/8 of .5mg once a day last january 16, 2017. Just last week i had one panic attack because of a sticky phlegm stucked on my throat thought that I was unable to breath to the point that i hyperventilated. My doctor advised me to take 1/8 of .5mg til the 56th day. Is it a normal withdrawal timeline? And the panic that I felt at the time my med was reduced? When i first took the med. I was able to sleep already but cannot get complete 8hrs of sleep. Til now cant get enough sleep. I can easily get out of my dream due to my environment sounds. Like the sound of a dog bark, something falling, or someone who passed by the room. Need a lot of your advise. Thank you
