"at 19 i have been on buspar, prozac and ativan; none of which worked. i can honestly say clonazepam is the only medication that has ever worked for my severe gad, sad and panic attacks. there is always a risk of addiction with benzodiazepines, but if thats the tradeoff to be a functional adult then so be it. i would recommend this only after less habit forming treatments have been ventured."
