Breeze

thanks breeze. you are kind.

i have since decided not to care how much
clonazepam i have to take because it's better
than going crazy.

life's a peach.

i believe that there have been times where klonopin saved my life. and yes, i did have to do a slow taper once because i got addicted and i was getting tremors and that sucked... but i'm ok now. i don't think i'd be ok now if i hadn't had the klonopin.

yes, klonopin is much better than going crazy inside a panic attack.

meds are tools to help us through things. sometimes we need a floatie and sometimes we need a life raft. both are ok. your doctor gave it to you to help, and i'm glad you are letting it help.

if you are worried about dosage, maybe try to talk to your doctor about that? but i think it's good that you're letting the meds help you through this.

penny

thanks penny, i appreciate the reassurance a lot.

I don't know how long you've been on the Klonopin, but I think that a good part of what can be accomplished with benzos is allowing you to re-wire the anxious thought patterns. Do you think that maybe it's the anxiety itself that has you concerned about dependence (if that's the concern)? Maybe it's a good idea to try live as anxiety free for a while, and let the Klonopin do the work. And taper, as appropriate, when the time comes.

Good luck,

Just how much do you take that you are so worried? I take 6mg per day to keep me from going insane.
