You are correct...few doctors will allow you to continue with this. I am lucky that he is one of them. Klonopin is what this is called in Europe and before I returned to the US I hoarded about one years supply and glad I did as it took a while to readjust to what used to be a reliaeble, governed country. Today? I wish I had never left France. I lived sur la coline in the country) Thanks for the note and good luck. There are other drugs out there with the same properties. It is a question of finding one that will cooperate.
