I agree with Rob on the klonopin. I do not find it dulling on the low dose I take. I do find the anxiety without klonopin a definate interference with clear thinking. I can tell you that taking a prescribed dose of klonopin for me is thought clarifying rather than mind blurring. I have to remember too that when I try something new (don't even ask me how many times that has been..) that I am not marrying the med, if I don't like it after a fair trial, I can quit it. No paper work involved. Just a sorry it didn't work out. And on to the next one..
