I was prescribed 1mg a day of Klonopin and within 6 months got up to 4mg. At first, it was euphoric and I rested well. Never have been addicted to anything but gradually (like over 6 months) could not go any longer than 6hr w/o taking Klonopin. Meanwhile, I started drinking alcohol everyday to potentiate the effects. After 16 months, I was drinking 6 or 7 ounces of Grain alcohol a day and several beers. Gradually, I tapered down to 1 mg of Klonopin a day and 2 oz of alcohol. Klonopin effects the GABA system. I believe I have been able to replenish some of the neurotransmitters effected by the pharmacology through a supplement called Replenish. However, I still have to get off Klonopin and will by summer. Weight gain has been around 50lbs the last 3 years. Like others, I have had visual effects while withdrawing due to its effects(Klonopin) on retinal receptors. This is a real bad drug but I think it can be overcome w replinishing my neurotransmitters(dopamine,norepiphirne).
