never go cold turkey off of benzo's , I took klonopin before and ran out and I thought I was going to die, then I found a way to get some more , I had taken either klonopin or xanax for 5 yrs, by the time I went to detox I was up to 12 mgs of xanax and they gave me 50 mgs of Librium for 7 days to get off of xanax and alcohol.
