Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm 30 years old male and have suffered from panic disorder and anxiety already from my teenage. I take Prozac 20 mg and occasionally Klonopin .5 mg. I have taken Klonopin for 5 years, typically 1-3 times a week (sometimes less) without noticing any tolerance before this summer. Since May I'm going through a very stressful time since I was diagnosed with burnout due to huge amount of work. My Klonopin intake got a bit more frequent until a couple of weeks ago I quit it since I started my vacation. I didn't get any withdrawal until 7-8 days from my last dose I became very anxious. How can I find it out if it is the withdrawal or just my anxiety/stress crawling back?
