I know all that. I should never have tried
to get off K after 15 or so yrs of consumption
every day. Also, my dr. raised the dose after
some yrs. because i was reaching tolerance.
My dr. never really wanted me to get off K
because it he knew it would be hard. The Xanax
was different story. I was actually supported
with a schedule from the Chief of Psychiatry of
a hospital which shall remain unnamed, and when
i got off, my dr. congratulated me. I no longer
have panic attacks in 10 yrs of taking Xanax
at a min. therapeutic dose. The stuff is prescribed
for acute anxiety, once in a while, for panic, NOT
for every day consumption - but it is addicting
very quickly, and soon you find that if you don't
take it you get the very same effect for which
you took it to avoid.As I said, I am not against benzos, and at this
point i will never dare try to get off Klonopin
again, whether I need it or not.
