"i am 60 &amp; have been on klonopin for over 20 yrs. i have tried every thing under the sun, no kidding. i have not only anxiety, but chronic depression, bi-polar disorder,  limb jerking, panic attacks to the extreme. i am so sensitive to meds, it&#039;s scary. so when i find something that works i stick with it. i usually only take &quot;brand name&quot;, good insurance, or i couldn&#039;t.  i&#039;ll tell you from experience, if you stick with an exact time line on taking it, rather than as needed, you will do a lot better. i have never had any side effects from it, a blessing. it helps with all of the above. i took myself off of about 17 medications a doc, had me on. i call them stackers. for a while i did not even know who i was. now, i am stable, doing the best i ever have."
