Hi, I have been taking Klonopin for several years now on a daily basis for severe anxiety. When I first started the dose was.05 twice a day. That was approximetely five years ago.
Trying a host of medication combonation with a variety of AD's, Klonopin has always gave me the most relief from my symptoms. My pdoc. now has me on 4mg a day 2mg in the morning and 2mg at night. I never take more than I am supposed to and I don't drink alcohol.
The Klonopin takes away my symptoms. Could it be that the symptoms are a result of my body being dependent on this medication or is it just simply doing what it is intended to do which is help with anxiety.
I have no adverse effects, no sedation, memory problems, etc. Was just curious if the drug is treating the anxiety or I am having to take the medication because my body has become addicted. Because if I miss a dose my symptoms flare up.
Any comments or ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
