People in here are probably getting tired of me beating the "klonopin drum" when it comes to anxiety, particularly klonopin. I've taken it 12 years without having to raise dose. I have gotten off it before, you just can't quit all at once. Your not stuck forever, if you want off you just have to go slow. Old symptoms will probably return though.
But for me getting off just reminded me why I take it. It works and workds great for my SP. Other meds work well for other people, everyone is different. Seems many people try other meds first and many don't respond well to the many anti depressants out there. They seem to just bring on more anxiety (of course that's not true for all). But I wouldn't be afraid of klonopin because of tolerance or dependance. It's a frontline med for treating anxiety with long term benefits. Just my take. My doc echos my comments. Good luck
