In reply to Klonopin for severe panic disorder, posted by LAURAH952 on June 25, 2013, at 9:57:37
Laura I had debilitating panic starting age 24 and at the time was given valium and miltown which was popular then. It worked wonders. About a year later just stopped the miltown continued with valium 5mg three times a day. Over the years the anxiety was up and sometimes gone. So it's been 40 some odd years. For a number of years Xanax was a good med at .25mg three times a day. Klonopin and I didn't get along. Now I take 7.5mg of valium at night & .25mg of Xanax, and 25mg of luvox and 2.5mg of Lexapro none of which seem to work.
I see you have pain may I ask what type as I have severe back pain that is degenerative. At one time took Cymbalta when new on the market and I do think it helps with pain as didn't know I had any till went off it. But the cost is so expensive.
8mg of klonopin I think is the equivalent of 80mg of valium. So I do think it's a high dose. Phillipa
