My daughter is in the Winnebago mental health hospital because of benzos. She has been on them for at least 15 years, she is 37 years old and has 2 beautiful daughters 14 and 12. In 2008 I found her script, her doctor was prescribing her 120 pills a month. Idk the mg. but she was taking more then she should have been, she was a different person because of them, they made her forget her problems and not remember a lot of her life or have to deal with her problems. She is a benzo addict in a mental health hospital. She is addicted to benzos which took her mind, turned her into a different person. She had her first psychofrenic psychosis attack 4 years ago There's so much more that happened because of these pills, numerous calls to the jail to get her mental help, a letter to the judge to get her help, but he didn't care. There should be a lawsuit somewhere! My daughter is lost

I have been on 1 mg of Kolonopin since 1991 and am 66 years old. I originally took for panic attacks. Now I just take for if I need for sleep. I have 3 autoimmune diseases and one being Hashimoto’s. I do have problems sleeping. But there are times when I don’t take them for a week or two and I don’t feel any withdrawal symptoms. I do take them normally 3 or 4 days a week and then not the rest of the week, because I still work part time and need to sleep to get up at 3:30 am in the morning.
I believe the problem is when patients take more pills daily, or begin to take more on there own to get the same euphoric feeling they used to get. I don’t and never have and they still work the same. So in turn a problem occurs. Then there are doctors that prescribe patients with taking these multiple time a day. I believe you can’t do that with this drug, nor increase dosage on your own to get the same euphoric feeling. That is when I consider an addiction begins.

I weaned off of benzos two years ago. There is no repairing the damage done by the person I became. I have been forever changed because of taking Klonopin.
I am sad and furious.
I recommend everyone wade the super fine print a potential side effects. You may become and be capable of doing things you never believed possible and will carry the shame with you forever. No one warned you could lose all of your friends and marriage your family and still expected to function. No support no job and no explanation as to what happened. My panic disorder is not cured my anxiety and depression are not better and now I have nothing.
I would have suffered the panic attacks had I known.
