What Causes Headaches And Sleeping Issues While On Klonopin?

I have been taking Klonopin 0.5 mg once daily for anxiety. I stopped taking it a few days ago because I felt like it was affecting my memory. I did not contact my doctor before stopping the medicine because I did not realize- until I researched it online- that before discontinuing I should have talked to him first. I am having trouble sleeping and have a headache. Should I call my doctor in the morning about this?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and these kind of pills should not be stopped abruptly. They should be tapered off slowly. I would recommend you to consult your doctor in the morning.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
