I too would still be on Klonopin but it quit working completely for me after 9 years. I too went thru the same thing you hv described in a detox facility. I prayed to die. For some, the tolerance to benzos becomes so great that you have no choice except to come off. I was deathly ill on the drug and even sicker coming off the drug. It is a catch 22. I am now 30 days free of valium and still feeling pretty crappy but hanging on. The benzos are, IMO, the most beneficial drugs for anxiety and panic but they come with a huge price tag. If you are lucky, you can stay on the drug for life. If you are one of the unfortunate ones, the day will come when the drug no longer works and you will hv no choice except detox. The benzo detox is the most painful of all detoxes. It is truly a living hell.
