"have been prescribed a plethora of anti-depressants and non-benzodiazepine anti-anxiety meds; all accompanied by horrendous, long lasting side effects. had a bad experience with a psychiatrist &amp; also held a negative attitude toward being dependent on medication, therefore decided to be anti-medicated for several (miserable) years.
eventually came to terms with the fact that i can not properly function in society without medication. it took awhile, but i have finally found a great combination of meds, including .5 mg of clonazepam. anxiety is better managed. happy to no longer be missing out because of anxiety. would recommend a low dose (prescribed by a doctor, of course) to someone that has tried multiple anxiety medications with no avail."
