"klonopin works excellent for my anxiety from ptsd. i still have some issues, but at 0.5 mg 3x day i feel much calmer and only rarely have panic attacks. i am better at talking to people and the other issues caused by my traumatic event. i have had no side effects from this medicine. i am worried about having to come off of it, but my psychiatrist says with weaning it is not too difficult. i think there is too much stigma with this medicine. it works and if you need it, you deal with the physical withdrawal when you have too. it can&#039;t be worse than the zoloft withdrawal i had- with weaning- that doctors told me i wouldn&#039;t have. i am not tempted to take more than prescribed, and i don&#039;t feel &quot;high&quot; on it. has helped me immensely."
