Question: I have been getting feverish and feel very weak. every time I stand up or move around I start getting very hot and clamy. my hair seems very dry in the last week. I have run out of klonopin and it is being mailed to us and should arrive in 7-10 days. could this be a reaction to not taking this med, I have been taking this for approx. 7 years. I also have coronary artery disease and have had a double bypass several years ago....?

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

You are likely experiencing acute Klonopin withdrawal. This is highly dangerous, and can be deadly, as withdrawal can include fever, dizziness, tremor, seizures, coma, and death. This is a very serious matter. I recommend you visit the nearest emergency room so you can have your vital signs monitored closely.
