Who told you you cannot take Klonopin anymore and why? If you are seeing a new doctor than who?
I have taken perphenazine for panic. Some other people might take one of the other antipsycotics. I think for me it works better than the Klonopin for those times when my panic is like obsessive. Everyone is different though.

Is this some type of clinic?
That is ridiculous. I have run into similar problems at clinics and with a few doctors. Klonopin is really not considered an addictive drug. I wish I had book marked some of the stuff I read. You can find some from looking it up on psycho-babble where I read some of it. I will try to look it up for you.
With Klonopin ones needs taper off it is what I read though I never needed to. But one does not get cravings or get used to a dose and have to increase it.
Just because it is a benzo. Some of these quacks do not want you to take it. If it helps you a lot then I would find a doctor who will prescribe it to you or at the very least give you a legitimate reason for not wanting you to take it.This really pushes my buttons. I ended up suing a clinic. I was functioning better than I had most of my life and they wanted me to go into the hospital and go off the Ritalin as they said it was addictive and I was taking either valium or xanax at the time. I was working and had my own apartment. They said it was dangerous and I needed to immediately go into the hospital and get off these "dangerous" meds. I left and stayed on the meds and more and functioned quite well for a long time on them. Until the antidepressant stopped working, Parnate.
Do not listen to these ignorant doctors.
Sorry to be so strong in what I am saying but I have strong feelings about doctors who do not know what they are doing!
I will look up some stuff about Klonopin for you and post it.

I could not find the links I wanted you to see. If you type in Klonopin and anywhere from June to now you would find some interseting stuff . There is a huge amount though.
ANyway here are a couple of links:http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/subs/20040409/msgs/342598.html
