"i was prescribed klonopin to get me through anxiety exarcebated by starting on lexapro. it is a benzo and therefore highly addictive so i was very careful about taking it as little as possible. i found it to be very effective and one tablet would actually keep me calm for around 36 hours ( it has a very long half life ). i did not feel side effects and didn&#039;t feel drunk or disoriented. was effective for me but needs to be used with care.
