> Hi, Myra. I've had tremendous success with Klonopin for about the last 8 years. It's much longer lasting than Xanax and some of the others and, therefore, is supposed to have less addictive potential and well as not give you the ups and downs of a short-term acting benzo whose levels constantly vary within your system. My current dosage is 3 mg/day. I take it in addition to Nardil. I've tried Valium, and have notice little or no effect. Lastly, I've gone off of Klonopin for about 4 months, and did not experience any withdrawal systems. I'm very happy with Klonopin, as you might tell.

> JohnJohn,
Do you take the 3 mg once a day?
This would greatly reduce the potential for
addiction vs. taking the med 3x a day (which I did). From I've read the anti-convulsant effect of Klonopin is much more likely to wear off than the anti-anxiety effect. When studied for epilepsy usage, it usually lost its effect after 3-6 months.-Another John ;)
