Re: Anxiety without clonzapam (klonopin), Help

I agree with Phillipa. You need to find a doctor that isn't benzo phobic. I can't imagine a doctor taking you off those meds in just 3 days. The taper should have been much slower.

But benzo's like klonopin do work for anxiety and many like myself have been on them years (2mgs klonopin). They continue to work for me and many others.

So if you don't have luck on your new meds I'd suggest you find a doctor that has experience with anxiety who will get you back on a benzo and as important find the right dose. A savvy doctor may even recomend Nardil or Parnate depending on your anxiety issues.

Klonopin may have worked fine for you by itself without having to add xanax, but you might not have taken a high enough dose or perhaps should have split klonopin doses for better coverage. Valium would be another option depending on what type anxiety your dealing with and your individual chemistry. Both have long half lifes compared to Ativan or Xanax.

I can understand why your feeling so poorly and I hope that you can find someone find relief.
