I am in big agreement with MelD. Klonopin has been good for me. It is the ONLY med I take. If anxiety is your primary problem, benzo's are approiate treatment for some. Careful use and monitoring is required, but, they can be used very well in some individuals - even for long term treatment.
You need to do some research on addiction versus phyical dependence and the DIFFERENCE..... and present this to your Dr. and if that doesn't work... find a new Dr.
There is much misinformation about the approiate use of benzo's and their role in treatment of anxiety based disorders. Education to disspell this misinformation will probably never be adequate and benzo's will probably always get a bad reputation.
