This need to be managed after getting admitted in a psychiatric ward. Meanwhile try to reduce the dose by about 1 tab of tramadol as well as clonazepam. This will cause some withdrawal symptoms for about a week. Try adding some physical exercise like yoga or running in your routine which will decrease the intensity of craving and other withdrawal symptoms follow universal sleep hygeine, most importantly do not use bed for lying down or sleeping during day time.
