Anxiety
"I was put on klonopin at age 17. I took it as prescribed for 20 years, going from 0. 5mgs to 3-4mgs a day. While it worked great for anxiety and insomnia, I wish I had never taken this medication. Last year I was detoxed off of it. When I tapered off I didn&#039;t sleep at all for 11 days. After that I had extreme anxiety and agitation. I couldn&#039;t sit still for months, I had to take a non addictive medication to be able to sleep at all. I was unable to eat well for months. 
Doctors don&#039;t think to tell you that this medication makes you physically dependant. You cannot stop abruptly or you risk seizures. It is made for short term use, about 2 weeks. I wish I had never taken this medication. I will never take another benzodiazapine again."
