> Hi,
> I've been taking 6mg/day for over 3 years (except when pregnant) and yes I am tolerant but it works great for panic attacks (and has never 'pooped out'). My pdoc has patients on for over 20 years with no ill effects. He does run routine liver panels. I guess if a med gives you a decent quality of life, I consider that a success. I wish you well- JudyHi Judy,
Where is your doctor????!!! I have been taking Clonazepam for 8 months a prescribed dose of 1mg per night if needed. Well, it has been needed and the one thing I notice is it will work very well by itself, but then I started Wellbutrin and I had horrible sleep. It is the one drug that has worked for me and helped sleep and anxiety all at the same time. Why are these doctors so adamant to get me off it?? No one ever asked about my liver, but it is fine. I think it is a great drug and wonder what suggestions are for trying to get it through the thick skulls of my medical community that it has and is helping me . Why are they weaning me? Fear? Something legally? Any help is appeciated, Hope you and Erik don't mind that I wrote in. Thanks, Jacquie
