"klonopin has been instrumental in getting my anxiety disorder under control.  i take 0.25 milligrams three times a day...taking 0.5mg at once is too much and causes me to be a space cadet.  it doesn&#039;t work as well on my rare panic attacks, but i have found other ways to cope with breathing exercises and such. without it i was nearly non-functioning and about to slip into a deep depression.  it has leveled my mood swings and just made life much more bearable (even joyful!). i would much rather have dependency on this medicine and be happy than feel that i am constantly in crisis (and occasionally suicidal)."
