Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

Just got back from a visit to a new PNP. I was told he could do a long taper. Instead of the long taper he just wanted to put me on klonopin. I said I would have to think about it and I left. I don’t know what to do.

Some suffering people try another benzodiazepine to replace the one they had been on and the outcomes from what I have read can be helpful and sometimes not. I could not say any recommendation. I wish I could but I can't. There is a group called Benzo Buddies online 24/7. I connected and am a member there. Again I have to say that so.e of the posts are frightening but there is helpful information there. I think the suggestion I got from a member Faith to split my 1mg daily in .5mg 12 hours apart at the same time daily 10am and 10pm in my crisis maybe could be helping even out my anxiety and keeping me out of panic at least; other than that I don't know yet. It's only been a week and a half.
You could talk with the PNP and express your concerns and would need some reassurance that he will help you every step of the way if you go that route. I don't know what is right in these situations truthfully I don't know either. I don't know what to do in my own situation either and it scares me to death daily
