Hi Mimi
I have taken Clonazepam for a long time- a small amount nightly. I have had zero side effects and usually get a good night's sleep. It has also
apparently been helpful in bringing panic attacks to an end. Based on my experience I would not be afraid of Clonazepam at all. Severe anxiety and
depression is not fun and needs to be brought under control asap. Good luck and perhaps you might read through all the suggestions
in the Panic Attacks and Depression discussions. Lot of people have good ideas.
Best wishes
Ainsleigh
