Here is a small study i found just doing some quick browsing,this site by the way seems to have abstracts on just about every medication,and a lot of it seems to be at the least fairly accurate,how they manage to test so many drugs is beyond me,however i seen a repeat of a certain medication which leads me to believe they have their information contributed and probuably are careful with what information they choose to use.Nevertheless here is a short article about klonopin,its pretty encouraging.

P.S I personaly feel a lot of W/D cases of benzos are in conjunction with underlying anxiety still being present,as well as over inhibitation.
I dont believe a benzo can be used to often alone,unless its for panic attacks and used as needed.
If used on a daily basis i feel strongly that there should be the presence of some form of mild stimulant,i personaly have seen very little success in the treatment of any emotional disorder using a gaba med alone,from Benzos...to GHB.....to Anti-convulsant mood stablizers the over load of gaba always seems to show itself in the form of either worsened depression,and or increased anxiety.Its just not as simple as needing to increase gaba,benzos do so much more than that and they are in my opinion the most effective treatment for severe anxiety.There is more going on,gaba is just a part of the problem.Just my opinion of course,anyway if u havent read the article i pasted above,its extremly small and i feel worth it.
