I Suffer From Crippling Anxiety. I Was Prescribed 12mg/day Of

I suffer from crippling anxiety. I was prescribed 12mg/day of Xanax. Took as prescribed by dr. After 14 years on Xanax, was switched to 8mg/day Clonazapin, for 20 years. Now, doctor, has taken me off all anxiety meds, cold turkey and my life is spinning out of control. I have read, not to stop CT, to taper off and also, it could take me several years to fully recover. I am unable to care for myself, due to withdrawal, but at the same time, I never want to take these wicked drugs again. I just need some advice from someone that understands, the withdrawal is our in three days. (I have consulted 5 different doctors, They say, not going through withdrawal, maybe Parkinson's, extreme anxiety, or another neurological disorder.)
