Before I respond to your query about the "Klonopin levels", may I ask a couple of questions?
1. What form of Klonopin are you taking - tablets or wafers? (Do you swallow them or dissolve them in your mouth?)
2. How "instantly" is instantly? 1 minute? 5 minutes? 15 minutes? 1 hour?
3. How calm is calm? Did you feel completely fine? If not, which symptoms went away, and which were left?
This is good. Please let her know, in no uncertain terms, if you want to approach the taper more slowly.
Btw, the Atarax should, indeed, help.
I'll check back in a few hours, assuming I don't have another migraine attack in which case I'll check back as soon as able.

I am taking tablets. I took .25 mg at 11 pm and was calm in 5 minutes which means that the severe agitation and hyperventilation stopped. I was calm enough not to be shaking and not moaning out loud in agony. I waited a little while longer until 12:15 AM to take the rest of .75 mg. I did not sleep really and woke up at 330 AM with severe pains in my rib-cage from a day of excessive panic and hyperventilating, and anxiety.
I spoke to my psyche and now she is having me take .25 at noon and .75 at night to keep blood level somewhat constant. I am determined to stick to 1 mg a day at this point and want to stop somehow over the next month. I might just be deluding myself because my withdrawal is so far quite extreme. I don't know if the Neurontin would have been better to get off of but I'm sure it wouldn't be like this!
Hope you haven't got that migraine.
