Will try to keep this short: I was and still am on Clonazepam / Rivotril for O OVER FIFTEEN YEARS. Two family dr. took over prescribing after a visit with Psychiatrist and just kept on renewing prescription every 3 months for 90 pills!! Feb.2019 I had a bit of b reakdown after C.Diff year before, went to hospital and new trainee psychiatrist took me off it after my last 5 pills from fam. dr. !!!! My fam. dr later said, too soon and put me on half the small dose but it was horrible. I am in Canada and the Province I live in have recognized the addictive nature of this drug but no one tells the Patient and in those days I didnt have Internet and also trusted the Dr. and Pharmacist. When fam dr left and moved I was going to emerge. dept. to get these pills and I told one dr. I feel like a drug seeker: YOU ARE she said *at age 78) give me a break. I have pharmacy records for last 10 yrs to show they were prescribed but now it's a huge deal to get them (Ontario) We dont have a lot of class action suits here.

Thank you for sharing your experience. This is so unacceptable, no matter where in the world.
