Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Klonopin sudden withdrawal may cause this type of symptoms but viibryd sudden withdrawal may also cause some side effects.
To avoid these side effects we have to reduce the dose of the drug than slowly withdraw the drug( under supervision of a doctor).
