This IS without a doubt the WORST medication EVER made, it's HORRIBLE in that it CAUSES THREE TIMES as MUCH anxiety as the actual syndrome, yet, certain physician's call to arms? " Just give it time, it takes awhile" and, GOD FORBID, you say your an alcoholic and need help with anxiety YOU WILL NOT get it,ergo, I stopped telling Drs about my recovery except for the pain clinic (BLESS THEIR PROGRESSIVE, UNDERSTANDING YETCAREFUL HEARTS!), which told me so what if I'm a recovering alcoholic, that DOES NOT MEAN Ihave to LIVE WITH PAIN. HOWEVER< it does mean that one usually has to live with anxiety because MOST Dr.'s WILL NOT PRESCRIBE THE BEST HELP..BENZODIAZEPEINES, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE ARE LONGER ACTING BENZOS WITH LESSOF A HISTORY IF DEPENDENCE..KLONOPIN! THANK GOD FOR A VERY UNDERSTANDING PSYCHAIRTRIST WHO MONITORS MY MEDS VERY CAREFULLY JUSTASTHEPAI CLINIC DOES, AS I HAVE TO USE OPIODs at home,PLUS I have a morphine PUMP, BUT, Because ofKlonopin and thepain meds,I have a LIFE TODAY, something I would not have had I stayed with Dr. P. H. ,and other TOLEDO HACKS who made my life a LIVING HELL, or whose non-prescribing OR prescribing utterly ancient Tricyclates for anxiety, etc made me MORE NERVOUS and MADE IT HARDER TO CONCENTRATE and HARDER to SLEEP, EAT, and FUNCTION. IT, all told TOOK 8 YEARS oF HORROR TO FINALLY GET SOMEONE TO LISTEN, so the pain clinic came up with a combination of meds that literally sent my back painfrom a 11 toa4, AND DR.P.H. of TOLEDO,wanted IMMEDIATELY TO CHANGE IT,it wasatthispoint we parted ways, as I wanted someone who cared, not someone with MIOPIC, almost AUTISTICvisionon theETOH abuse,which was so far BACK in my past anyway!Read More Read Less
