I am my mother's care giver. She's 89 yo. She has never been very social and has had anxiety/depression most of her life. She had been on clonazepam 0.5 four times a day for appx 5 years. About 2 years ago they cut her back to 2 times a day. Took some doing but finally made it work. Now they are trying to cut her back to 1 to 1.5 pills a day. It's not working. Her anxiety level is through the roof. She is really upset and actually I am too. I am feeling anxious myself and do not know what to do for her. She's 89 for goodness sake! Why can't she just continue as is for the remainder of her life. It is the only thing that gives her comfort.
