Re: clorazapam response       09/24/07 09:45 AM Edit Reply Quote IBSHell Reged: 05/09/07 Posts: 98 Loc: Connecticut I have been taking 1 mg of clonazepam at night for the last 3 years. It was originally prescribed for anxiety attacks. It is said to be addictive and some people do go through withdrawal when they come off it (ironically enough, one of the common withdrawal symptoms is anxiety attacks). I successfully weened myself completely off it last year. I was actually not taking any IBS meds for about 5 months (2-3 mo. for the clonazepam as it took longer to ween off), but I didn't go through any withdrawal. Right after I finish the weening off, I lost my job and the next day was in the ER with what I thought was an IBS attack. Five days later and three different diagnosis, they realized it was my gallbladder and i had that out. That changed my IBS completely. I went back on everything, and yada yada. Don't wanna bore with all the details. But my new GI said that he would recommend my cutting it down to .5 mg for the IBS and see how I feel. I no longer need it for anxiety, but it clearly helps with the IBS. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
