I just had to comment on both these posts.
I am 74 and lead a very active life with probably too much exercise.
I recently met with my PCP to review my medications.
Once again Klonopin came up and again she said she didn’t feel any need to have me stop taking it. She had one woman who was a fairly heavy drinker that had fallen several times and she told her it would be Klonopin or alcohol and she chose alcohol.
For me I take 50mg of Sertraline/Zolft along with Buspar, Buprophion/Wellbutrin and Klonopin/ Clonazepam. I did cut back from 100mg of Sertraline/Zoloft to 50mg to help with the sexual side effects which anyone taking an SSRI can certainly identify with. I also added 5mg of Cialis daily.
I am extremely happy with my life.
Hopefully this might help someone out there.
I wish everyone on the site the best.

It has been two days with no questions regarding hearing loss.
I am amazed who ineffective we as a community are at advocating for ourselves.
Where is a requirement to have telecoil at every venue? Where is a noise restriction at every restaurant where almost invariably loud music is playing in the background.
When will start demanding these things are implemented? When is the last time you went in a restaurant that didn’t have a handicap accessible restroom.
I just returned from Europe and was appalled that the only restrooms in all the restaurants I ate at were downstairs with no elevators.
They also are ten years behind us in the effort to curb smoking which is very prevalent in Portugal and Germany.
In closing let’s start demanding some accountability for our disability. If not now when.
Hopefully people with hearing loss read this post.
