> Sorry to hear about such a horrendous experience. Klonopin is an antiseizure medicine, and it was studied for the use in epilepsy but was found to be ineffective due to the potential for rapid tolerance developed to ints anticonvulsant effects. I believe for vanilla anxiety treatment, its anxiolytic effects are less likely to wear off/poop-out.

Klonopin WAS and IS the ONLY drug that has helped him. I am also taking Klonopin 1.5 mg for anxiety and thank goodness have never gotten addicted. I have been on the same dose for 7 years, and it does help me. It certainly is not a drug for everyone, but it certainly has a place in the neuro world.

Hi Viki,

Glad to hear a/any success story. Don't mean to be an alarmist on my end...

I don't no much about epilepsy, but I wonder how effective in general Topamax would be for people who responded to Klonopin?

Regards,
John
