"i have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since i was 7. i&#039;m currently 33 and just discovered klonopin. i was on paxil for 12 years and it was a miracle pill until i built tolerance to it and it stopped working. i&#039;ve recently switched to zoloft and it&#039;s been a rough road. however my psychiatrist put me on klonopin to help ease the anxiety and it has been amazing. i only need .25 mg 2 to 3 times a day, but it gave me the ability to function. even with withdrawal from paxil and start up side effects from zoloft, i can still keep my head straight. anxiety and panic are dibilatating and when i weigh my options, i&#039;d pick klonopin everytime."
