"i have been on klonopin for years now to treat my severe anxiety.  initially i tried other things like xanax, ativan, and valium.  none of those compared to the relief i felt taking this.  the only downside is having to take more due to tolerance increasing, but it seems a very small price to pay to be able to function in the &quot;real world&quot;. i recommend this to anyone who needs help managing their anxiety, well in conjunction with therapy."
