Anxiety
"I used to be on Klonopin for years and I think it helped but I&#039;m not sure since I was also on Paxil. It came to a point where neither were working for me even at higher dosages so I started taking Ativan. This really helped my anxiety but it would come back every morning. Eventually I hit tolerance and had to increase it. Eventually I hit tolerance again and I found myself feeling more anxious than ever. I decided it was time to get off. The doctor put me on Valium because it&#039;s easier to taper off than any other benzo. He suggested I could take anywhere from 4mg to 10mg per day. I slowly tapered down to 1.5mg but I was miserable.  I reinstated and went back up to 6mg and have also tried 10mg and it has never worked for me. Stay away from it"
