"clonazepam probably saved my life.  i&#039;ve been on it for twelve years.  it was originally prescribed to me because my antidepressant was not doing the job of suppressing panic attacks.  clonazepam worked incredibly well for me - for 12 years, .5 milligrams is all i need to stop the worst of panic attacks.  i&#039;ve never noticed any side effects, save for some drowsiness at times.  the only downside that i&#039;ve experienced is a mild physical dependence.  if i go more than two days without a clonazepam, i start to feel kind of jittery, restless, and tense.  these periods of physical dependence have been easily remedied though, by simply easing up on the dose over the course of a couple of weeks."
