In reply to Clonazepam/Klonopin for life???, posted by Guy on December 22, 2002, at 0:02:29
> I'm finally starting to feel better now that I have stopped taking anti-depressants for my anxiety (severe GAD). I hate AD's with a passion...tried ten different ones and all they do is make me fat, lethargic, impotent and hung over. They don't help my anxiety. I'm now taking 1 mg of clonazepam every night because of my insomnia and profound fear of sleeplessness. (I have anxiety attacks when I can't sleep.) I'm wondering if I can do this for the rest of my life (I'm 48 now). Does clonazepam lose its effectiveness over time? People seem averse to long-term benzo use.
There are things u can use with a benzo to keep it a lil more under control,taurine is a over the counter amino acid that works well with anxiety,alone its not strong enough for clinical anxiety,however i believe it can aid in keeping a benzo,mainly klonopin somewhat lower and that is always a good thing.
