Long story short. I have been on clonopin (1.5MG) for almost twenty years. Prescribed for GAD. They were no longer working, so with my shrink's advice, I checked into hospital and jumped off CT. That was two weeks ago!

I feel like I'm on a bad acid trip! And it won't let up!! My legs feel as though they had weights attached. I'm in this horrific fog and can barely stand up at times. I mean. I am really really scared. It is taking every ounce of energy I have to even write this post. My face feels numb, my teeth feel loose, my eyes are blurred and I don't even recognize the sound of my own voice.

My guess its probably withdrawal from the meds or your mind making you feel this way because you've been on the drugs so long. I know it's scary but you will push through.

I agree with Jocipher thats a long time to be on something and just quit, I'm thankful you are in an environment where they will take care of you, try to communicate with some of the staff and see if they
know how long this withdrawal will take! Peace

Medicine withdrawal is no easy business!

So sorry you're going through this. Like Larry said, communicate with the hospital staff if possible.

Best wishes to you!

Sending more support and encouragement!

Here is a site that may help. It is in no way a substitution for what the professionals are telling you...

I am glad that you are going through this with the help of a medical team, but this may just add to what you are learning in your detox program.
