@grandmaj5 these guidelines are just for the most part. As I stated previously, States are able to make their own laws regarding drugs as long as they are starting with the Federal law. In other words states may have stricter rules. I do not know what the rules are for benzos in WI. Maybe you can do a search on WI law, but it might be a good idea to consult an attorney. There is wrong info on the Internet. I only report this info and am not giving an opinion. The only thing was that I couldn't understand why changes to laws concerning what doctors are supposed to do were passed without any real debate. I too believe I have a genetic defect that causes depression and anxiety. My doctor also believed I had an element of manic depressive, but enough to be diagnosed with it. Keep checking because you may find a way to still get clonozepam. If not, I did go off of it without any problems. I just had to increase my antidepressant.
