Clonazepam, generic for the brand name drug Klonopin, is included in the benzodiazepine family of medications and prescribed for panic disorder treatment. When a person wants to stop taking this medication, it is crucial to gradually stop using it and more importantly, to do so with the guidance of a physician or prescription drug rehab. These days many people are taking benzodiazepines for panic and anxiety disorders. Some of these people find that using this medication is no longer needed. The only problem with that is the symptoms of withdrawal, which can be difficult to deal with and sometimes dangerous. People may often feel as though they are riding a roller coaster when attempting to stop and then having to start back up because of difficult Clonazepam benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
So the first thing to do in lessening these symptoms is talking to the doctor or consulting a rehab. From there you and your health practitioner can figure out you will taper off of Clonazepam. During tapering, you can take your time, gradually reducing the dosage of the amount you have been taking. Being good to your body is essential during benzodiazepine withdrawal, as the body will be experiencing a lot of metabolic and chemical changes. Drinking plenty of purified water and supplementing with the right vitamins helps the body through these changes. In addition, benzodiazepine medications can be incredibly habit-forming, therefore, these drugs are not recommended for long-term use (longer than 14 days). It’s reported that a benzodiazepine withdrawal is much more involved than methamphetamines, alcohol, or even heroin and other opiates. Despite this, there were 112.8 million prescriptions filled for these medications in 2008, the majority were prescribed from primary care physicians.
To understand why Clonazepam benzodiazepine withdrawal is experienced when people try to stop taking this medication, it’s important to first look at the possible underlying causes of panic and anxiety disorders. There are toxins, namely neurotoxins, which can collect within a person’s system throughout their lifetime. This can cause an effect of a nervous system that is over-stimulated. One example is pesticides: a pesticide created to kill a bug, such as a grasshopper, kills the bug in these following ways. The pesticide toxin permeates into the exoskeleton, and navigates its way through the nervous system. A pesticide will cause acetylcholine channels to continuously remain open in the nervous system, and it will not allow for these channels to be closed. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter of stimulation that will make the grasshopper start jumping. A constant and unregulated influx of acetylcholine will put the insect into death, and that is how a pesticide kills a pest.
A build-up of this toxin in the human body acts in a similar way on the nervous system since we use acetylcholine for stimulation too. Alternative to Meds Center commonly finds in instances of anxiety, that the individual has collected neurotoxins like heavy metals which are causing over-stimulation to the nervous system. Benzodiazepines are the most frequent class of drugs we address, since unsupported withdrawal is very difficult. Our methods for this specific type of medication are diverse, but include gentle taper techniques, removals of collected neurotoxins, neurochemical support with natural substances, peer support, and the beneficial effects of relaxation inducing therapies including massage, acupuncture, sauna and meditation.
