I went through about 4 or 5 years of multiple hospitalizations shock treatments all kinds of treatments for depression I had probably half a dozen psychiatrists that were very they were Hospital psychiatrists and also some private they all thought I had depression after I finally had another hospitalization and the doctor put me on ativan it was like a light switch being turned on before that I couldn't concentrate I had to stop driving I couldn't watch a movie I couldn't sit still I would sit and rock all the time when they put me on the Ativan and then the Klonopin it I was completely up a new person I was able to get my driver's license back after passing a medical examination I could do things again and I have never had any reason to think that the medicine did anything but good for me I was worthless without it I could my wife took care of me like a baby the doctor that I have now I've had for over 10 years and I have the one before that I had for about 10 years none of them have has ever suggested going off of the Klonopin and when I've asked the doctor that I have now because I quit taking my midday 1 mg I was taking three 1 mg a day now I just take two one in the morning and one at night and my my psychiatrist from a hospital in Richmond Indiana said that that was good if I was doing okay on two but he advised me not to try to get off of them so I I can't help but Wonder but I know everybody's different and maybe someday I may have to go through what some of these people are going through but I have been taking them since 1994 or 5 and I just don't see I just don't understand what I'm reading but I guess I can pray for the people that God will help them and I do have neuropathy and I take gabapentin for that and I know that's an incurable disease and I have degenerative disc disease and I have sciatica so I have some other things going on that are more pressing at the moment God bless you and I am glad that you are able to get off of it people question me all the time about getting off of it but I don't just I don't see myself doing that right now
