Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

Klonopin 1 mg is not a big dose. And generally it doesnt cause withdrawal symptoms. However if it is troubling you then you will have to reduce it step wise. Like you have to move to 0.75 mg followed by 0.5 mg and then to 2.5 mg and then stop it over a period of few weeks.
During that period take plenty of water and rest.
Do conitnue your zoloft.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
