I take clonazepam 4mg as needed. However, when I take it, it seems like every terrible side effect happens to me. I am exhausted the next day, I wake up early, I have scary thoughts, I’m agitated and caffeine doesn’t touch my sedation. I am going to tell my psych this next appt that I can’t do this shit anymore. I take it seldomly so I don’t think I’m dependent but idk why tf I experience such side effects? People that aren’t rx this medication and use it for recreational purpose seem to be having a good time. Whats wrong with me? I took 4mg yesterday at 4pm (MT) it’s 10 am the next day and I’m still sedated. How can I get this out of my system as quickly as possible?? This feeling is horrific.

So I have been prescribed benzodiazepines for my anxiety and have been taking them daily for two years straight without missing a day. However, I have found out that I am pregnant so I can no longer take them. Has anyone gone from benzodiazepines to literally any other medication and have felt relief? Who I refuse to believe that benzodiazepines are the end all be all of anxiety management.

Please let me know your thoughts.
