@kojakgirl- I have maintained taking 1mg of Clonazepam now for over 15 years. On this site as well as other sites much has been said about getting off drugs such as this. I'm now a 70 year young man who has felt that this drug was able to get my life back to living and doing many of the things that my panic attacks had put an end to.
I have conterplated tapering, but several posts over the years have made mention that often if you go off this drug you might not be able to get the same results if you try to go back on. I guess I am just not willing to take that risk right now. My short term memory seems to suffer more than my long term and that is one of the isssues often brought up about long term use of Benzo's. I guess for now I feel for me "if it ain't broke why fix it"!
I hope this helps you as you decern what might be your next move. Jim@thankful.

Thank you Jim.
I will ask about that Clonazepam and see what Dr. says.
Are you on an anti depressant as well or no?
I tell you, I am so fearful of the depression returning after the Zyprexa is no more.

Also, I agree with that, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
If your Dr. is willing to let you be on that, I say, stay on it. 😊

I just read some on Clonazepam and I do think this would work for me.
I will definitely talk to my Dr. about this on my next appointment. Thank you again. 😊
