Thanks everyone for your responses. I don't think my houseguests are likely suspects and I have spoken with my kids. They certainly seem innocent enough, although I guess parents can be guilty of seeing what they'd like to see.
Let's suppose that either one of my kids took them or an intruder, whom I'm assuming would be a neighborhood teen. I have no idea what the allure of klonopin is - I take a small amount of it only to help me get to sleep. I know it can be addictive, and I guess it has a "value" to others since I've seen newspaper accounts of people being arrested for trying to float forged prescriptions. Why to people like to abuse this drug? Stupid question, maybe, but I've never thought of it as something someone else would want.
Is it more likely someone would take this to use it or to sell it?
Thanks
Mair
PS: I guess I'm dreading talking to my pdoc about this because I actually favor the neighborhood intruder theory, although I know that seems like the least likely answer to a more rational person. So I don't want to be seen as the mother who has her head in the sand. Also, my pdoc knows my kids somewhat just because her kids go to the same high school. Her son and my daughter are actually pretty friendly. I don't know - it all just seems awkward.
