"I believe I could go through a year long combined cocaine and heroin binge, while still taking my usual nightly dose of clonazepam of course, walk away from the narcotics, and still be at the pharmacist counter the next day awaiting the refill of my beloved/wretched clonazepam RX!"LOL... you can sure tell when somebody has never had first hand experience of Cocaine or Heroin addiction. Comparing the withdrawal of Clonazepam to Cocaine or Heroin... that's what creates a fool.
I've been taking 1mg of Clonazepam every night now for about 4-5 years, with a period about half way through where I stopped cold turkey for about 4 months.
The withdrawal from this medication was VERY easy to do compared to some of the other drugs that I've had to come off of in my lifetime.
Any of the SSRIs are Hell in withdrawal compared to Clonazepam. And surely, comparing the withdrawals of cocaine to the withdrawals of Clonazepam is like comparing good to evil.
I still use Clonazepam to this day because it is the one drug that I've tried that has very few major side effects and that helps rid me of my anxiety/panic attacks and allows me to sleep a good night's sleep. Try going through about 11 years of Insomnia and then come and tell me how evil this medication is lol...
