@lisalucier - Hi there Lisa and friends of Connect. I just noticed this topic and wanted to weigh in on my experience with Klonopin or Clonazepam. I started with Klonopin probably over 20 years back and moved to Clonazepam the generic when it became available. It was perscribed for me by a Psychiatrist for panic attacks. I have taken 1.0mg this entire time and it has done the job for the most part. I am still somewhat reluctant to drive accross tall bridges and would prefer to stay off freeways, but I am doing this again as long as my wife is riding with me. There was a period of time when I could not fly (not literally, ha ha) and I have been now able to fly which is wonderful!
Over all these years it often comes up from my Dr. about where am I at with this drug and have been given several options, but I have typically said "why change when something works"? Occasionaly I forget to take my little blue pill and if I go all day I am very spacie. I hate that I feel so addicted to it and would prefer that not be the case, but as I said why change what works.
More recently I have been giving it more thought and have had that conversation with my Dr. and he said he would put together a plan to do this if I want and I guess I need to take the next step. We will see where this goes. I will keep you posted if I do and I wanted to tell everyone I appreciate each of you and your transparency on this topic. Jim @thankful
