Clonazepam withdrawal
Used to take Clonazepam 0.5mg. After tapering it down for 1 month my doctor told me to stop taking clonazepam. I was off of the clonazepam for 7 days, however yesterday I could not resist the withdrawal symptoms, based on my doctor's permission I took 0.125 mg of clonazepam.
Should I have to experience the withdrawal symptoms from the beginning ??

Withdrawal symptoms in case of benzodiazepine dependence usually depend on the half of the substance abused you were taking clonazepam that is a long acting BZD so withdrawal in case of clonazepam appears late only!
Next Steps
Withdrawal of clonazepam should be dealt very cautiously
