I would just like to say and defense of doctors that help save my life by giving me Ativan and then Klonopin I was useless and I was a burden to my wife she took care of me like a child I couldn't drive anymore I couldn't concentrate to watch TV or a movie with her or do much of anything with her I was kind of a zombie I would rock back and forth in the passenger seat of the car I will after not being able to drive anymore I gave up my driver's license after the doctor put me on ativan and then Klonopin I was able to go take a medical examination and get my driver's license back I was able to watch TV and concentrate and read and start going back to church and I wasn't afraid all the time I didn't have panic attacks like I did before they were kind of non-stop before that my doctors had been treating me for depression for 4 years they started out giving me shock treatments at the beginning during the first year of my mental health problems so the Klonopin has been a blessing to me I used to take three 1 mg tablets a day now I take one in the morning and one at night and my doctor said that's just fine that take the least amount that you're able to that you're comfortable with that you function well with and he said that was just fine and I've been doing that for years now for a couple years at least probably more than that God bless you I'll be praying for you the Lord Jesus Christ can do anything and he has with me

Klonopin and Ativan can be excellent medications; and with all you've had to go through, you're fortunate to have been prescribed the med's. and it's a relatively small dosage that has helped you get on with your life. For some people (myself), these med's come with risks and side effects that cause the problems you had before your treatments. For the record, I always carry 0.5 mg of alprazolam in case I get a panic attack--the most horrible nightmare imaginable. Thank you for posting your story.
