I completely understand how you feel. I've been on Klonopin for 16 years and I was on Lexapro for 5 years and they stopped working. I am 53 years old and have had anxiety, depression, and panic attacks all my life. I don't know why the doctors don't tell you that these addictive drugs stop working after so many years. I quit the Lexapro cold turkey in December and had some anxiety, but that went away. Lexapro aka Escitalapram is for depression and anxiety. I've always been a nervous person. I was on 2mg of Klonopin, but I went down to 1mg several months ago. I get migraines and my Neurologist put me on Topiramate which later I found out is similar to a Benzodiazepine. Gosh, why didn't I research this drug first. I'm on a lot of medication for chronic pain, but I really want to get off the Klonopin. I've been to detox hospitals before, but with the pandemic, I don't know if they are doing that anymore. How did you get off of Klonopin?
