seems odd to use something highly addictive. Most alcoholics are treated with naltrexone. Guess it’s interesting but odd to me.

If i understand that somebody gives me some pills secretly to keep me away from alcohol and because of that i suffer from panic attacks i swear i will kill him.It doesn't matter who will be - my mother ,father or friends.No one deserve that hell and that must be indictable .Monday morning i am going to psychiatric and i will ask why i am using pills which are used for detoxification of alcoholics ?!?If panic attacks are not dangerous physically, why i can not drink alcohol?

2 years i am living in that hell. It's not fair.I want to know what happened to me ?How is that possible? Just wake up some day with panic attacks. Yesterday everything was ok and on the next day you are not the same person?

What is the reason?

All my friends were sick from covid.No one have panic attacks,only me.Some of them were even in hospitals, with many people dying around them.

What is wrong with me .I want my normal life back.There is no justice.

Where is the fuckin God?

Putin made a war.120 000 people are dead till now ,because of that killer,but he is healthy ,wealthy and live luxury way of life .Is he better than me ?What is my sin ,because of which i live in that hell ?If God can not help me that means he is not God .If he can help,but just doesn't want that means that God is not good ,but evil.What is the point to live like that,tells me?I can not stand it anymore.

I was on clonazepam for several years for anxiety. It eventually stopped working and I started having memory problems. Tapering of it was terrible. It took several months and I lost my equilibrium, I felt spacey, and my panic attacks came back in full force. The drug really worked at the beginning, but after years on it (and trying to get off of it), I swore I wouldn’t touch benzos again.

I have been on Klonopin for 12 years. I have detoxed from Klonopin and it's living hell for months. But then my anxiety disorder was so severe the Psychiatrist put me back on it. It works for me. I am terrified of going off it. Many doctors won't prescribe it anymore because of the opioid crisis. Combining Klonopin with an Opioid can be fatal.

hi! I took Klonopin for 30 years. It’s high addictive, loses effectiveness, interferes with other meds, and is almost impossible to stop. I no longer take it but would never recommend anyone start it to begin with. There are much better options today.

I was on klonopin for a number of years and it was the only med that directly affected and reduced my anxiety. I was able to taper off of it slowly and didn't have any withdrawal symptoms but we all react differently to meds.

A slow tapering can work. I made the mistake of going to a drug rehab center. They gave me phenobarbital and took me off the Klonopin. That doesn't work. I had severe withdrawal symptoms for months. I knew nothing about Benzo Withdrawal at the time. I expected to feel great after a few days.
