> I have experimented on enough occasions with cocaine and crack to have developed an addiction, like so many other unfortunate people. I had no desire to return to the drug to merely get high, I have more restraint than that. On the other hand, I NEED clonazepam to merely function in everyday life, not to get high. There have been reports that Benzodiazepines have a more serious withdrawl issue surrounding them than heroin!
> I'd be careful what you say about it, since you are currently using them on a regular basis.>I think someone already said this, but has it occurred to you that you need the clonazepam because it is successfully treating your disorder? You said you don't want/need it to get high, just to function normally. So, the problem is what??? I had terrible benzophobia (fear of addiction, viewing myself as weak for needing a drug, etc.). But,as my psychiatrist once asked,"If your dr. told you you had high blood pressure and needed to take a med for it , what would you do?" The answer was obvious. Anxiety/panic disorder is real...why resist the most effective treatment?
