I’ve been dealing with anxiety in professional situations for a few years now, and it’s gotten bad enough that I scheduled a session with a psychiatrist. Today was my first visit, and it went well, but I was surprised to walk out the door with a prescription for klonopin. He specifically said he prefers to avoid medication, if possible, yet he ended the session with a casual assessment and recommendation to medicate. A little digging online suggests klonopin is pretty addictive and not inconsequential. Should I try it out and “find my dosage” as he suggests, or approach with caution?
