Anxiety
"I have taken clonazepam for 20 years.  I have remained at 0.5mg 3x/day.  This is the ONLY medication that has significantly helped with my anxiety.  When I take it, I feel normal again.  SSRI&#039;s have given my side effects; I have none with clonazepam. Some docs don&#039;t like to prescribe it long-term, although we are talking about quality of life.  It ought to be the *patient&#039;s decision* if they want to remain on it.  If being dependent on something greatly improves quality of life, then it&#039;s worth it IMHO.  Some people are born with more anxiety than others.  This medication seems to correct that imbalance in brain chemistry."
