Xanax and Klonopin withdrawals? Please help!?

I have developed a physical tolerance to Xanax and Klonopin after being prescribed to take them for severe anxiety. I have been on them for several months and am now trying to slowly taper off of them with no success. I can't swallow food, my anxiety is through the roof, and I'm literally losing weight by the hour. I am in tremendous agony and I need some advice as to what I should do. Has anyone tried Phenibut or GABA supplements for withdrawals and did it help? Any advice would be much appreciated. And please...serious answers only. God bless each and every one of you.

Answer:
Oh my GOD, Ben! I've been there, done that, sued the company and worn the t-shirt so to speak. The only way to stop using klonopin, which I was addicted to, is to go through medically supervised withdrawals. It is hellacious and I never went through anything harder. But I was brought off the klonopin successfully. Go onto my profile and get my e-mail and IM address and write me. Like I said, I've been there. And if you decide to go into the hospital, then I will talk to you for as long as it takes. Click on to my profile and IM or e-mail me, okay?
You need to be medically supervised while you withdraw fom these drugs. There is a safe way to withdraw without all the side effects you are having. Unfortunately both of these drugs are highly addictive even when taken as ordered. Talk with your D. about his and have him help you thru this. I take valium and my mom is always on me because it is addictive and she thinks I will become an addict. I use it rarely and you may have to use something on rare occasions too.
