.. Sober now, though. Xanex is a severe and deadly drug, in my oppinion. It kills the soul when you grow dependent. Klonopin is pretty bad, too. I know people who would take 4 or 5 at a time, and smoke weed or drink alcohol, and they were out of this world. I was riding with a guy who was strictly on klonopin, and we about hit a tree going 65 mph. This drug is serious. I know you are using it for best intentions. I simply just can't take it, as I will likely become dependent on it. Simply, because it really is a fog. If you don't like being in this state of mind, I would suggest that you tell your doctor. I have severe anxiety, and there are other types of medications out there other than benzos.clonazepam and brain fog

This drug is known to be abused by drug addicts. I know, I'm an addict. .. Sober now, though. Xanex is a severe and deadly drug, in my oppinion. It kills the soul when you grow dependent.

I take Clonazepam.You can't take a large dose all at once.You must space out two or three .25mg meltabs throughout the course of a day and after about a week or two you won't have anymore side effects.Maybe a little hunger.
I have been using clonazpam safely(OFF AND ON)
for about fifteen years.

Oh Nuts! I was just working on a decent response when I hit the wrong button and lost all my copy. When here I go again.
The following is from Personal Notes I made to myself 2-11-09.
I'm sitting at Jack In The Crack awaiting Max Cannon the creator of a synidicated comic strip called RED MEAT, to show up. But he doesn't. And my negative side goes: See You're just not worth his time. And so the reason I wanted this meeting was to see if he'd be willing to take up the chore of inking in my comic character:
MADAME X INCORPORATED. However since I've been practing with new sized Sharpie black and Brush pens I'm finding that maybe I don't really don't need him to do what I'm finding out I can do myself.
So I think I'm going to continue to ink in her adventures because it makes my happy. And this is a feeling that no drug can top. I've been looking into trying to ink differently since a good friend and colleage suggested that I needed to start experimenting with my line varations. Also too, I needed to do more spotting blacks in my final pieces. And guess what he was right. And now my art looks better and more professional because I was willing to listen to some criticism and then try something new. Another new factor added to MX Inc. is I've taken on an Editor in the name of Rich K. and he's allowed me to see that by slowing down the pace of the action in the comic we could wind up with a better product and since then I've been doing just that and the books, we're on #3 is coming out like gangbusters.
None of this could have occurred before I got through the the program course because I was still stuck in my thinking that I had to be the Lone Ranger to get things done MY WAY! Now I'm not trying to Feed this Hole inside my gut screaming at me to "FEED ME SYMORE, FEED ME!" Anymore!!!
My game plan has totally changed because I've changed! For the better I might say. I'm also in a Business Planning class thats allowing me, not some other business person who saids they can write a terrific Business Plan for 1K. And just give me something that reads like sterio instructions. Nope. I'm writting it so I can understand what I'm doing and why. Before the program I'd be hiding under the covers waiting for someone else to do it. So you see theirs no one who can do what I do or get the job done any wheres near as I can do it. So I'll keep moving in the direction I feel the Good Lord is leading me.
Thanx.

I just signed up and am looking at the comments. I am 72 and have had a long history of anxiety and panic attacks. I used to take Valium a long time ago. I call it the "torture drug"; dose was supposed to last 4 hours but stayed with me for 2 hours and then came the realization I was experiencing even greater anxiety. All the comments fit together as pieces of the puzzle. I have used Ativan, Xanex and Klonopin. I am now using .5 mg of Klonopin 3 times a day. I am seeing a pharmacologist and he is regulating the medication. Addiction plagues people and I have to be aware of this danger. You are slowed down and sleepy and so you have to make a choice. Raw anxiety or a chemical in the body that has side effects. I am now functioning quite well but am retired and this gives me more freedom. But volunteering, being involved, and joining a gym is also part of the picture. Also, by this time I am pretty open about my condition - that helps and people are curious because it tends to be a "behind closed doors" topic. I also take Paxil and medication for my high blood pressure. I do consider myself a reasonably healthy guy who tends to be outgoing. My faith has been a tremendous help - we never are alone in this pain and suffering and I think it makes us more sensitive to the needs of others. Lorenzo
