The problem I am now experiencing being on Clonazepam for the past 5 years, going on 6 years, is memory impairment and a "dull" feeling since it works on the GABA receptors in the brain. Clonazepam does very little to stop my OCD but it does indeed "curb" the daily GAD I encounter. The reason I feel so "guilty" is because of my religious beliefs. I struggle with physical dependence upon this Benzo and that's what makes me feel so guilty. My Doctor appointment is coming up in March. Leah09
