Clonazepam
anxiety
"I have taken clonazepam for 20 years.  I have remained at 0.5mg 3x/day.  This is the ONLY medication that has significantly helped with my anxiety.  When I take it, I feel normal again.  SSRI's have given my side effects; I have none with clonazepam. Some docs don't like to prescribe it long-term, although we are talking about quality of life.  It ought to be the *patient's decision* if they want to remain on it.  If being dependent on something greatly improves quality of life, then it's worth it IMHO.  Some people are born with more anxiety than others.  This medication seems to correct that imbalance in brain chemistry."
