Klonopin question

1 Reply

Anyone know if there is a drug that acts similar to klonopin that is not addictive but that will work for the long term? When I take klonopin all is right with the world but I know that it can’t be taken forever. I will ask my doctor about this at my next visit but was just hoping someone can offer some insight. Thank you.

Not really, this is an on going issue for patients and doctors. Some dr.s prescribe anti epileptic or anti psychotic in low doses for anxiety as a downer pill as anti depressants are uppers and not always good for ptsd as we are already up from being wired. Benzos can be useful for up to a year with out too much danger of addiction, and even after that you can take as needed but not daily without danger. but if you need longer or continual help than what i mentioned might be the answer. Some people also find marijuana and cbd oil very helpful
