"i take about 2-4 mg a day of klonopin. it makes me tired sometimes, but it works better than the anti-anxiety (depression) pills like paxil and prozac. i&#039;m a recovering heroin addict and doctors hate to treat you like a regular patient.  i&#039;ve been clean now for 4 years but my addiction will follow me for the rest of my life.  if that&#039;s the penance for staying clean, i&#039;ll take it."
