@gman007 I no longer take klonopin and I certainly was not informed as I believe I ought to have been about how addictive it is-no mention was even made of it being addictive as well as the antidepressants and antiphyschotics which were to enhance the antidepressants. I would like to believe they did not know and only had my best interest in mind. Not true at all. There were so many things I was not told and now it is too late to change the harm that has been done by well (?) educated doctors.
Now another 10 years off of my life because of 8 years of this poison. I may as well stop seeing doctors because so many of them are pill pushers. All of this uproar about opiates when there are things that are eagerly prescribed that are even more harmful.
Sick, sick, sick all of this and also scary realizing my days have been shortened even more!! I am death on a horse eating a cracker. How can anyone with depression or any other mental illness ever expect to get help? Knowledge is power and the truth will be the demise of many. Sad to think how many who are desperately seeking help are being made sicker.
Yes, the truth hurts.

gman007, I just came off 4 years of Klonopin for neuropathy of the feet and it was ROUGH! I wear a Herbst appliance for sleep apnea and the Klonopin masked how difficult it was to sleep with it in. I couldn't get 3 hours of sleep without Klonopin, but since I also take Norco for the neuropathy, the DEA no longer allows the two, so I had to make a choice. The result is vertigo and tinnitus. I'm back sleeping with Ambien and am generally getting better. PT helps with the vertigo; I'm habituating to the ringing. I can feel my balance coming back, the balance lost with extended use of Klonopin. My memory is still sketchy in recalling the right words when I speak, can only hope time will overcome that.
