I find all your posts interesting.
I am 74 and very active for my age. Unlike all of you my PCP has no problem keeping my dosage of Clonazepam/ Klonopin where it has been for over 30 years. It works well with my antidepressants and as my first psychiatrist said “ If it isn’t broke don’t fix it”
Over the years I have tried other antidepressants trying to avoid sexual side effects. I always came back to Zoloft and have even reduced my dosage from 100 mg to 50 mg.
It would be nice to stop taking Clonazepam/ Klonopin not because of any adverse side effects but rather because unlike my other medications I can only get a 30 day supply because it is characterized as a controlled substance.
I hear horror stories from people on this post regarding withdrawal symptoms. My PCP questioned why I wanted to put myself through that if it was not causing me any problems.
I look forward to hearing from others regarding this subject.
