Out of clonazepam(klonopin).for anxiety. long term low dose user. last time after the third day, I started having seizures, HELP!?

My family doctor stopped prescribing them. She said it was because i missed an appointment. I think it's the cdc and dea new rules on pain and anxiety medication. with these draconian laws there is an increase with pain patients cut off who commit suicide for relief. And benzo(klonopin, xanax, ativan, et al) patients who are dieing of grand mal seizures. there's a war on doctors now and too many are getting their licenses taken or going to jail for just rx ing opioids and/or benzos

I hate psychiatrists. I had a nervous breakdown when i was young. I was non violent, just crying a lot and on the floor.

first three days in the looney bin was great. no psych drugs. i felt like it was a rest, like sanctuary from my crazy family and world. after 3 days and light activity i felt like a new person, the future had promise once again. then this stupid psychiatrist puts me on a neuroleptic(abilify, seroquel, haldol, thorazine, those kind of drugs for violent patients. I had the side effect called akathisia and other life threatning "side effects. for 8 years i was ill at ease to say the least from that chemical torture.

then my 4th shrink gave me a benzo. first time in 8 yrs i could relax. so i've been on them ever since about 30 years.

Even my last psychiatrist told me that to detox a long term low dose user is almost impossible, much suffering. he said you are just going to maintain you. Sadly he moved back to Tawain. what should i do ?
