I really don't feel any loss of efficacy in the seven years I've taken klonopin- 6mg is simply the dose that works for me. I did try ativan, but it doesn't work nearly as well as klonopin (for me) in stopping panic attacks. I think depression is more descriptive of how I feel then 'sluggish', and my pdoc agreed that several of his patients have complained of feeling depressed on klonopin then any of the other benzos. I still have manic episodes however, while klonopin keeps the panic disorder under control I have never hit the right combo (despite taking every conceivable mood stabilizer/AP/and combos of) and still have a rapid cycling bipolar disorder. I am a huge fan of benzos for anxiety disorders though.
thanks for the input- judy
