Please, please, no benzo bashers on this post. So my doctor like every other doctor I have seen wants too start tapering me off my klonopin I believe after all my refills are gone. Side note i do take paxil too and those too together are magic as they dont completely erase my anxiety but make it manageable soo I am able too do skills and live somewhat normally. And yes I have tried other benzos and basically every non narc on the market. I have dealt w panic attacks since childhood. Its not living as many of you know. I understand the side effects and understand the dependency, withdrawal and potential for addiction. But I am willing too risk all that just too be normak. I know there are ppl who receive it long term, its a risk vs. benefit thing. Any idea on what too tell my doc when she brings it up again ?? I cant go back to that life.
