I know this has been discussed before, but I had a few unanswered questions about benzos after searching the archives.
I just went to a different pdoc who gave me a 30 day supply of klonopin to help me get through the holidays. I told him that none of the SSRIs were fully controlling my anxiety / panic.
In short, the klonopin has been a godsend. I don't even feel like I am on anything, my panics just don't flare up like they used to.
Furthermore, I feel no desire to abuse this drug. I have taken benzos in excess once before, and all I did was sleep for a long time. They do not get me "high". I personally think the abuse potential of this drug is grossly overstated.
Has anyone here been on Klonopin for a long time? Did you have problems getting off of it? Did your anxiety worsen after getting off of it?
