"21 y/o female, work in the medical field, severe anxiety for about 5 years now, always been hesitant about taking meds for fear of medication dependency. in the past year, my anxiety has gotten to the point where i am isolated &amp; developing depression. i finally broke down and was prescribed klonopin 0.5mg daily as needed. it takes the edge off and gives me a genuine good feeling while allowing me to keep a clear head and keep my patients safe. i was marijuana dependent as a teen b/c it improved my moods the same way, so i see the potential for dependency here. i am seeing a therapist and intend on using this until i learn other ways to cope. it does help you to think positively so you can begin your recovery. great short term drug."
