I think all the posts, thus far, have excellent very true points. I have decided that if I must be a "lifer", so be it. My quality of life has changed dramatically due to my med -- as in, I actually HAVE a life now. I was extemely agoraphobic and a mess, pretty much covering all symptoms and categories of anxiety.
I can understand your concern about the sleep issues. Benzos have been reported to lose their "sleepiness" producing effects and retain their antianxiety effects. That being said, the point of anxiety causing your sleep problem, Klon should be effective for taking care of the root cause. Also, there are options for sleep meds.
I fully support the approiate use of any benzo for anxiety disorders. They actually work, work for long term, and many of us avoid pitfalls and find them to be pretty close to a miracle. There is alot of negative info out there and caution is required but---- Successful and effective use can be achieved.
Good luck to you.
