"i started taking this medication to replace xanax in the early 90&#039;s.  i am now 44 and have been on .5mg-2mg/day of this drug for almost 25 years.  i also take sertraline (zoloft) and buspirone (buspar) for my depression, anxiety, panic, and ocd- all of which i&#039;ve suffered with since childhood.  the clonazepam has been a wonderful drug which has allowed me time free from the agony of anxiety.  it has also caused me problems with drowsiness and memory.  withdrawal has been manageable on a couple of occasions.  i am currently on .25mg/day/prn and am trying to get off of it completely per my md.  the couple of time i came off of it precipitously to avoid drug screenings at work were some of the worst times of my life."
