PLEASE share what helps for severe anxiety & burning skin feeling

I so agree! I take Klonopin in a small dose ( .25)most days. It doesn’t solve my health problems, but it makes it possible for me to have some quality of life.
Doctors are quick to prescribe SSRI and SNRI (also addictive), but now many doctors will not prescribe Benzos. I don’t understand the reasoning.
Antidepressants cause severe side effects for me, but I tolerate Klonopin and it helps me cope with my illness.
Isn’t that the goal?

dloos, YES!! That is the goal!! To take the medication that works best for you! Doctors I believe, are told not to prescribe benzos because so many people abused them! But gosh darn it....Don't punish the responsible people who will take them as prescribed! SSRI and SNRI's definitely are addictive and have ALOT more SIDE EFFECTS!! Doctors NEED TO start prescribing benzos to people who need a anxiety med that works for them, who have tried the SSRI's or SNRI's....

I got a 30 day prescription for Klonapin in November of last year. I cut them in half. I am very judicious in taking them. They do help. I think I’ve taken about 5-6 total. I have no refills and doubt I could get one, since I’m not seeing that neurologist anymore. My new neurologist has prescribed daily B12 and Cymbalta.
