Um, I've been taking klonopin for like a year in February. For the longest time, I was taking it as needed, which was usually once a day, .5mg. For the past two months, P-doc has had me on .5mg 3 times a day. No, I honestly don't find it as effective as I did when I first started taking it, but life is still tolerable. When I first started taking it, it alleviated ALL anxiousness and nervousness and anything like that. I was calm as hell. Now I can feel anxious and nervous at that dose, but I manage it a lot better than I would if I weren't on the klonopin. It isn't useless at this dose in any way whatsoever, but I suspect it might be in a few months, but I don't really know. Maybe it will continue to work at this level indefinitely, hopefully, I don't want to develop a tolerance either.
What the docs wrote down about my Crazy: GAD, Social Phobia, Panic Disorder, "Mood issues"
The pills they give me to fix this shit: Bupropion XL 150mg, Abilify 2.5mg, Clonazepam 1mg 3x per day
Pills that did NOT fix this shit: Sertraline, Buspirone, Mirtazipine, Paroxetine, Gabapentin, Effexor XR, Lorazepam, Fluoxetine, Cymbalta, Can't afford Seroquel, Zolpidem

And my hands are unsteady
I reckon I'll just lay here on the floor

And I take the beauty of my chaos over any one else's perfection, I've still woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
