"this medication should never be taken as a long term treatment for anxiety, panic attacks etc.. 

this medication also should be given at low doses to begin 0.5 once or twice a day. the reason

for these conclusions is that i first was given clonazepam over 25 years ago after extreme anxiety   

from a major surgery. my dosage was high (started 2mgx 3 day and eventually 2mg x4 a day) 

i was on 2 mg x 4 a day for well over 20 years and getting off has been almost impossible, even in a detox center. even with tapers. this last year we slowly were sort of successful by cutting it back down to 2mg x 3 a day and that took over a year of tapering. i still get the shakes once in a while, this drug is dangerous for now i crave it."
