I agree with you a 100% !!!!
I've been using klonopin for years .5mg a pill a day and sometimes I skip a day or 2 with no problems at all..and there are some days if I am too stressed I'll take 2 pills a day....it just gave me my life back.I've lived with anxiety for years and years...so enough suffering for me....I now feel happy and relieved from anxiety...and I am on lexapro 10 mg a day.It is a great combo for me!!! I love it!!! I am aware of the withdrawls.and addiction and dependency...so I am very careful with klonopin......for now I don't think about quitting I am just enjoying life anxiety free...life is too short .....so if it helps you then good for you.

Exactly! You are much calmer and can live your life like a normal person. It's amazing. I'm not quite sure why so many people experience the side effects being talked about because I have had none.

Answer/Reply:
I take 0.5 twice daily,though it helps,I still suffer frm Panic Attacks.Dosage right?I m miserable for hours after each attack,n will do my breathing exercise when I remembered it will help greatly to reduce the pain faster.I also takes Luvox for depression.My jitters come anytime,sometimes more after taking.I hv trouble falling to sleep.Even when I m very sleepy ,I find myself awake in minutes.I went to a talk by a Phsychiatrist,learned there are newer drugs,w/o having to take benzodiazepams,like clonazepam,I wish to be on these drugs,so that I wont be addicted to clonazepam.I hope there is a cure to my miseries.I m ok shopping,but my house is flooded with clothes n draining money.

Answer/Reply:
I am a 45 year old female and believe that you must be tapered off ANY medications of this kind because all medicines like these can cause problems if suddenly you stop taking them. Be careful.
