I know this has probably been addressed somewhere on the archives but I really am curious as to if this drug is making it *impossible* to become well.
12-14 years off and on ---mostly on , but I tried going off of it last summer and never before felt like doing myself in as I did when the K was absent. I know that withdrawl can def . make you much more depressed. Some may dismiss this idea of being a major contributor of depression, but I just don't know -- I don't buy all of Peter Breggers' ideas of -"maybe its' your medication" but some of his ideas are somewhat sound. ALSO I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS THREAD GET MOVED TO PSYCHOLOGY-BABBLE OR SOCIAL BABBLE CUZ I MENTIONED THE 'ANTI-CHRIST' OF PSYCHIATRYS' NAME - AND NO I AM NOT A SCIENTOLOGIST I really want the low down on K. I have panic and anxiety brain fog, and DP/DR - and social phobia even while on the drug ! fwiw I am BP II/ocd etc. But is there an alt. to K and if so how would you go about making the transition to another med without losing your mind or your life!! I am quite serious-I know it is good for a lot of people for lots of different indications, but when is continued therapy too much? Afterall there is no "daily requirement for Klonopin" like there is for essential vitamins/minerals and the like", I know I am psychologically and physically addicted to it - but I just can't beleive that there aren't better answers!! I know that I have posed a lot of multi-faceted questions but I think there are also answers!! All input is appreciated and welcomed.
Thanks
Clint
