> Does anybody know why almost everyone on this board who takes a benzo takes Klonopin? It definitely *is* the benzo du Jour. Once in a while I see Xanax mentioned on this board, but Valium, Ativan, Librium are almost unmentioned. Anyway, maybe they are mentioned, and I just don't see it. However, I've got to say that it seems 90% of all benzo posts are about Klonopin. Why is it the popular one?

Hi MB,

Only my guess based upon my own experience. Klonopin has zero euphoria associated with it - therefore little chance for abuse. As far as I can tell it also has zero anxiolitic (sp) effect. I only take it for sleep, and for me, that's all it does....makes me sleepy. I should add I have Unipolar Major Depression/Depressed/Meloncholic with no anxiety but extreme chronic "sleepness" during the day (i take the K onle at night) with chronic insomnia at night - TRD. Nothing works for me so I am not a good example.....essentially brain dead.

Wish you the best,

Geezer
