Why?

Last week my doctor took me off my Klozepam by Friday I was in a panic my heart was pounding! I went hospital, they did an EKG and a heart x-ray, took my blood work and let me sit until they understood what was going on with me, I was only going through withdrawal they said, they gave me two of my much needed and sent me home. The next day my doctor saw me and told me that they have to lessen my prescription! So I went from 3 mgs to 2 mgs. I am still very shaky and feeling disoriented. What can I do now?

Hi @diana_ventaloro and welcome. Klozepam is an anti-anxiety medication and should not just be stopped. To avoid withdrawal symptoms, it should be decreased by 0.125 mg every 3 days. PS I'm not medical, but Google is my friend.

Try to look for a psychiatrist or other prescriber. You definitely should be tapering off slowly. I am getting off sleeping pills and xanax. Sleeping pills gone. Tapering off xanax with psychiatrist. .25 mg per month reduction. Please take care of yourself. Anxiety is debilitating. Best of luck
