"i have been on klonopin for over 6 yrs now.  has been working great. i take it for bipolar disorder and panic disorder without agoraphobia.  i have had my times off of it, but also experiencing epilepsy. i usually  have seizures within 48 hrs of being off klonopin.  needless to say i&#039;m still taking it (0.5mg tabs 4 times daily).  works great, and it was the first benzodiazepine i&#039;ve been prescribed and only one that works for me.  i&#039;ve tried ativan, xanax, valium and restoril. they all work great, but i&#039;ll always prefer klonopin."
