Hi sar,
Just a couple of comments from reading posts on this thread. Klonopin has been a big help to me in getting anxiety under control. I took (abused) Xanax for a lot of years before i was treated for depression. i managed to get of Xanax totally and stayed off benzo's until i was hospitalized. The AD I was on was not working and I was too stubborn to admit it and get help. They switched ADs at the hospital and gave me Klonopin. Your doc. has a legit concern about addiction and building up a tolerance, however, I have been on 1 mg per day for almost 2 years and it still works. And funny you should mention it, but Prozac is the AD that worked for me too. My pdoc won't prescribe generic versions. She says they don't work.
So talk to the doc and hold out for what works for you.Good Luck
Greg
