Addicted to Klonopin

I have been taking klonopin for over 15 years... I recently took 10mg  of klonopin.  I wasn't trying to do harm. I'm just very OCD..I am concerned on when withdrawal starts after taking 10 mg. I have allot of questions

Helllo Chogarth, welcome to BenzoBuddies,

 

Can you tell us your normal dose of Klonopin and when you took that 10 mgs?  Are you interested in tapering from the drug?  Typically a one off dose of benzodiazepines won’t cause any extra harm, unless of course you overdose but the damage these drugs do is long term, the changes they make to your brain and central nervous system, this is what takes the greatest amount of time to recover from.

 

I’ll provide some links for you to look at but please let us know what your concerns are.
