I've been taking Clonazepam for anxiety/panic on and off for about a year now. I've currently been taking it for the longest I have ever taken it, which is about 3-4 months. I've only ever taken .5mg twice daily, but I've always been very sensitive to medications and often require lower doses.

My question is... I've decided that I no longer desire using Clonazepam for panic/anxiety and decided to stop taking it. I figured that stopping abruptly from .5mg twice daily would be fine, seeing as it appears to be such a low dose compared to most threads I have read.

I've only been off of it for about 3-4 days, but I'm starting to experience some pretty tough anxiety and panic. Having the usual symptoms like shortness of breath, chest breathing, and incredibly tight chest wall/diaphragm.

Should I have weaned off of the Clonazepam a little slower, or is the dose too low to really cause serious withdrawal?
