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.

I also cut my .50 in half. It’s enough to take the “edge off” on bad days. I now have a doctor who will prescribe Klonopin for me. He knows I use it sparingly. I want it to keep working, so don’t take more than I really need. I believe I could stop taking it tomorrow if my health improves. However as I said before, if it helps, I think it should be available for people.

This new attitude is probably a backlash from the opioid crisis, after there was so much overprescribing of opiates. Patients suffer now because of the irresponsible overuse of opioids.

I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.
BTW, I had taste distortion some years ago (not related to Covid). It was finally discovered my B12 levels were extremely low. After a few months of supplementation my taste returned to almost normal. I hope the same for you.
It took awhile, but I did recover most of my taste.

celia16, Good luck with the Cymbalta....don't think it's as effective as a benzo, like Klonopin, and, , SSRI's and SNRI's have ALOT of side effects!!
