Thank you for your comments. I've taken Clonazapam for years with, thankfully, no memory loss. My issues came about when my doctor decided I shouldn't take it with my pain meds despite the fact I'd never had issues in the past. She made that decision without warning & I was forced to from 3 mg a day to nothing. Withdrawal was awful & I've been suffering since. Florida seems to be a CYA (cover your a__s state for doctors. Don't listen to me or think outside the box but, rather, prescribe, or don't prescribe, to make sure you (doctors) don't get in trouble. It's so frustrating and I'm at the end of my rope. Your response helped me a lot. I appreciate your kind words. Take care.

I’ve had the same thing happen. Drs afraid to prescribe a benzo and a pain med. I do not abuse meds and living without both of these is a life not worth living. Give me a waiver to sign that absolves the doc of all responsibility. How do we stop this madness?
