It isn't always like that. I've been on the same dose of klonopin for nearly seven years, and still find it effective.
I'm with you in that I believe things that can be treated without medication should be. But not everything can be...
My depression is of a degree that I can treat it with therapy and no meds. But my anxiety is caused by an oversensitive nervous system (now my view is validated by a neurologist, so I feel ok saying that). I can and will do something with it with relaxation techniques and biofeedback, but I will probably still need medication to help with those hair trigger synapses.
And I'm ok with that. Because I can't live with the symptoms of anxiety. Literally. Klonopin, Risperdal, whatever I need to take is better than the alternative, because the alternative is choosing permanent peace.
