Hi.

Both myself and my brother have no problem getting Klonopin, but we're lucky to have an understanding psychiatrist who trusts my judgement (I've tried over 50 medications and so I think I have a good appreciation of what helps and what doesn't. Klonopin helps).

I do know others that have encountered great difficulty obtaining it so it probably depends on the individual psychiatrist you see.

Unfortunately there is much talk of 'drug rationalisation' (read: get them off drugs and into interminable therapy) in UK psychiatry at present. Because of benzo over-prescribing in the 70's and the consequent furore, a lot of clinicians are unfortunately reluctant to prescribe them.

J.
