"i have suffered from extreme social and general anxiety for most of my life, but didn&#039;t seek help until i was around 20. i was prescribed many ssris but none of them worked. clonazepam has been the only thing that has ever helped relieve my anxiety. its a shame that many doctors won&#039;t prescribe it because it can be habit forming, yet they&#039;ll gladly give out ssris that can cause manic behavior or suicidal thoughts. this medication saved me from my anxiety."
