You know, I don't know if you ever experienced generalized anxiety and panic, but I'll do my best to try to describe it:
Imagine feeling like someone has a gun to your head and is about to pull the trigger.
Imagine feeling as though you have been buried alive and are waiting to suffocate.
Imagine watching someone you love is on fire and you can't do anything about it.
Now imagine feeling that way for days at a time for absolutely no reason.
The illness itself is incapacitating and just try to think or even live under those conditions. You can't - you just can't. There is no cure.
Klonopin offers symptom relief for me and a whole lot of other people as well.
I don't care if I become dependent on it (and I think you need to look up the difference between dependence and addiction). And without it, it's not like I can think anyway.
So, while I appreciate you cynicism, on the whole, I'll take the klonopin and live my life.
