I was prescribed pexep plus 25 for a year for minor anxiety symptoms and I had abrubdtly stopped taking them which caused withdrawal symptoms but nothing major and so I had to take them again after two weeks of stopping them. I don't know if it was because of paroxetine or clonazepam but I'm still dealing with the symptoms however nothing major since my dose had been dropped from 25 to 12.5. I'm currently taking PAXTRA plus 12.5 and I've noticed my doctor has not decreased my clonazepam dosage (it is still 0.5 mg on the packet). I've come across many benzo withdrawal articles online and I'm terrified that I would get even more dependent on these drugs if I continue taking it. If anyone is experienced in tapering off use of the above medications, can you please answer my query so that I can consult with you?

Hi, I am on anxiety medication from last 1.2 years...these were my initial doses when I started the medication: Morning: 0.25 clonazepam Night: 0.5 clonazepam+dothipin 50mg. The clonazepam dose was reduced over the last one year and I was successfully able to that even though I had withdrawal symptoms whenever the dose was reduced. I had come down to 0.25 clonazepam only in the night with dothipin 50mg. Now it's been a month, my doctor switched me from clonazepam 0.25 to Alprazolam 0.25.He said I have to take half of the alprazolam, and then have to make quarter and then need to stop at one point.Along with alprazolam I'm also taking dothipin 50mg. Since the time I have switched from clonazepam to alprazolam life has become difficult. I am getting all the anxiety symptoms.I am not understanding if it's the withdrawal symptom. If it's withdrawal, is it because I stopped clonazepsm? Why do I feel withdrawal even though I'm taking equivalent medicine.? Please help.
