I suffer from extreme anxiety and insomnia. Am just starting clonazepam. Can anyone tell me if I have to worry about tolerance in the long haul? Can I stay on this med for the rest of my life? I've just read an article by Professor Heather Ashton, a British physician, that states: "There is little evidence that benzdiazepines retain their effectiveness after a few months. In fact, long-term benzodiazepine use may aggravate anxiety disorders." Any opinions greatly appreciated. By the way, I've tried a ton of anti-depressants, all to no avail.
