Yes, my new doctor is open to me keeping up with 2 mg clonazepam daily. Unfortunately, it takes time to wean off any benzo, and she is not offering me an alternative to that benzo. I've stopped using it in the past without taking so much time to reduce dosages, but after 2 days, the anxiety disorder was back just as it was before, so I know the clonazepam is working. I don't think 2 mg is much of a dose on a daily basis anyway. The doctors are typically just worried about addiction to benzos. Some people are like that, but not me. I rarely get a very slight mood elevation from Percocet or Norco (I needed them after a fractured pelvis earlier this year), maybe my metabolism is able to process them differently. They definitely kill extreme pain however.

Thats good your new doctor is letting you keep taking Clonazepam. Alot of doctors would not...at least where I live. But you say your anxiety comes back after 2 days of not taking Clonazepam....that is most likely withdrawal symptoms.....from abruptly stopping it. I'm glad it's helping you and your doctor let's you have 2mg a day...that is considered kind of a high daily dose....at least my doctor would say so. I'm surprised your doctor isn't worried about you being addicted to it. Because you most likely are....but so what...if it's helping you.
