Everyone has to do what feels right for them. But, Klonopin has been a lifesaver for me. I take .25mgs twice a day. Never increased, it's only med I use. I have been on it for 1 1/2 years. I tried THREE times to wean off - Blamed all the return of my disease symptoms to withdrawal and I was "addicted". See, the first info I found when researching benzos was the UK site - scared me to death. I finally came to the reasoning, with my doc, my disease was the reason. Am I phyically dependent? Probably. But, life is functional with Klonopin. I'm not scared of "everything". I can go out. I can work. I can take trips. I can take care of me and mine and make it through a pretty good day because of it.
You do what you feel is right for you. A good and correct diagnosis is the key. Suffering for the valor of not using meds (whatever it is you need) is something alot of us are familar with. Most of the time, it doesn't work very well. I spent countless days of misery wishing my problem would just "go away".
Hope you work it out.
