I've been taking clonazepam for almost ten years, and haven't tried to withdraw from them, and don't really want to. They brought me out of an excruciating state of panic that set in while I was on vacation, and I even entered a day hospitalization program after I returned home. I also started taking duloxetine. These two drugs, mostly the clonazepam, almost instantly stopped the panic and anxiety, so I won't badmouth clonazepam. Now, it seems like it primarily stops me from feeling irritable and edgy, but that's good, too, and my psychiatrist has no problem prescribing it.

That’s great that it works for you with a combination drug ..But I’m talking about myself . And I think I make it clear that this is about me and what worked for me ..we’re both replying to the same post ? She’s asking for help to get off of clonazepam and if you read her post , she’s not having such a great experience. ..
So . I can relate ? Sure it’s a great drug until you hit immunity after 10 years I’ve freaking well hit immunity. I only take 1.5 mgs per day .,and the only reason I’m on them is bc I can’t get the hell off of them . People say “ well just stay on them ?” That’s not an option ? You see when you hit immunity , like I have from this drug and dr will. Not give me any higher dosage ! Trust me I’ve lost brother and my sister in last 3 yrs to cancer ( I’m 55) and he said “ nope ! Not allowed to increase ?” Lol but they sure were 10 yrs ago . Now the government and Health Canada , Anti drug companies and the opioid crisis ..,have finally stopped most drs from ( freely ) offering them up as an option . Zopliclone included ( z drug I asked for sleep during that period ) no.., bc z drugs are now ( kind of lol ) in the benzo . Family ? So getting off track , sorry . I’ll make this quick now . What happens to me every day for last 4 years … I go through wds all day .. not the kind you have when you try to stop cpam ( cold turkey ) that’s just pure dangerous .,but I take my pill and try to spread the (3) pills out throughout the day ..,with leaving one for bedtime so I can sleep ??well it’s torture ! And by 6 pm I end up just taking the 3rd one ..,I don’t get to sleep until 3 am and that’s after I’ve taken 4 gravol or something over counter ?? Tried to taper twice .,once , for 6 months and I just had to stop ? The wds weren’t going away . My next plan was micro- tapering .. but I’m happy that it’s working for you .,I’m only replying to this particular Post bc she sounds like me ! Seriously.. that’s all .., And I know you’re not accusing me of doing so …,,you’re just saying that it helps you and you’re not going to “ bath mouth cpam “ but it just isn’t doing a thing for me except wds everyday ..,imagine ? 👍👍❤️
