I just ran out of klonopin, and i had some back up xanax and ativan for when i ran out. Not the same.
Feels like i've literally had some sort of seizure. Speech effected, balance problems, memory severely impared.

Does seem to mimic some TLE in many senses.

Please consult a medical professional if you have abruptly stopped taking a benzodiazepeine. Depending on our dose range, the effect of discontinuation can be very serious. The typical ranges of benzos that are provided for short term treatment have a lower risk, but long-term and high-dose treatment should not be simply discontinued abruptly.

All my best,

David
