Hope you got your Klonopin. If not, a suggestion for next time: If you write down the things you want to cover and go through them as a checklist, you'll be less likely to let things slide.
How long has your uncle's friend been taking Klonopin?
> In a 1/2 hour I'm going to my pdoc. I am going to see if he'll let me try out klonopin or another benzo for my unrelenting anxiety. I'm freaking out due to the anticipation. I just hope I can spit out my argument and feelings about the whole situation. I think of all these things to cover, but when I try to say them I cower back and often bypass ideas and important statements. Well, hopefully I can get through it and convince him to give benzos a chance. I talked to my uncle's friend who takes .5 mg klonopin and he says it is a miracle drug. He hasn't developed any tolerance and has no side effects. Hearing him talk about how he can enjoy life without anxiety makes me so envious but gives me a sense of hope as well. There is something out there that may work and work well!!! But I have a feeling I'm just getting my hopes up. They'll be shot down in a 1/2 hour and I'll be stuck in the same position I am in now.

> Ermm... Guess I drifted off topic. Anyways, I had bloodshot eyes all yesterday and into today. Maybe they still are bloodshot (I really hope not. My pdoc will throw me out of his office.) So are bloodshot eyes sometimes a sign of high anxiety or extreme stress? I am pretty sure that dilated pupils are.
