Follow-Up:
I have taken 1 mg. klonipin for past 5 years for anxiety-two .5 mg tablets per day. It's helped me lead a normal, happy life-I'm able to work full-time, fly on planes, drive for long distances, set in long meetings-these were all things I couldn't do before without having terrible panic attacks. I also try to exercise regularly, get enough sleep and have a social life. I have no plans on discontinuing this med- I only tried once for abaout one week, but attacks reocurred. I think any negative side effects can't be as bad as how I had been feeling for many years. Possibly because I'm generally healthy and don't suffer from any other mental health problems than panic disorder it has worked okay for me for five years. Good Luck-
