"i have had generalized anxiety disorder all my life, but could control it without medicines. i thought as i got older it would go away, but instead it had gotten worse to the point i finally got some help. been on clonazepam for 2 years and feel so much better. it really works. i do worry about the horror stories of withdrawal, but wonder why people try to go off when it makes them better. i don&#039;t plan on stopping, i have finally found peace of mind with no side effects. my dose has remained the same."
