OK-I need to make a point. When I saw my psychiatrist Friday, she re-iterated AGAIN that benzos are very addicting. She says to me " you might as well be addicted to street drugs-heroin"- I was like okaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy Geez-Klonopin is great-it works for me and I only take 2mg- so I compromised and will follow her advice of cutting to 1 1/2mg for a week, and then 1mg for a week an stay on only 1mg a week. My opinion--------I agree, and I don't want to be hooked on this med to a point where I start building tolerance-I have seen that happen in a sibling. If the Seroquel prevents you from having to take Klonopin and possibly getting hooked, building up tolerance, etc. -GO FOR IT. Just my opinion Good luck:)

I would also definitely recommend Clonazepam (Klonopin) for help with anxiety... I've been taking 1mg per night for the last 8 months and don't seem to be having any real problems with it...
Though, come to mention it... that whole thing about not missing a few doses is starting to scare me.... Since I started on that Seroquel I haven't taken the Clonazepam because the Seroquel has been far too sedating for me already... hmmmm...
