My Psychiatrist wants to put me on Clonazapam @ .5mg bid and maybe up it to 1mg bid in 2 weeks and adjust as needed for 6-9 months maybe up to a year then do a taper. I have pretty constant GAD but no out of the blue panic attacks. I really only panic when I create it with negative thinking and anticipatory anxiety. I live a pretty limited life for the last 10+ years with GAD I dont drive far, travel and like to be alone etc. You all know the usual stuff. I am open to K but the benzo scare does bother me. I have and do take either Xanax or Ativan as needed and always keep some with me but never abuse them. I have been under a huge amount of stress lately and I can not relax at all...ever!..without any benzo's. I can feel a buzzing inside me most of the time and with the benzo's I feel "normal" again. Dr. feels SSRI's are not for me since I am not depressed but just wound up way to tight all the time. I really would like to be "normal" again and live life. Should I hop on the K train?
