"i was on klonopin for 16 yrs. now side effects. been off for three years now going through life changes i am experiencing a lot of panic attacks and anxiety racing thoughts scared to be alone and running to try to avoid these feeling. but, it wouldn&#039;t stop. now i am on klonopin again for a little help to get through this tough time so i can think. klonopin is my choice because i have been on it for so long i know what it does for me. when i need it and when i don&#039;t. like i said before i haven&#039;t had a side effect and after i take just on pill i feel great clear thinking and focused.  a lot of people can&#039;t take klonopin but for me it&#039;s my life savor."
