DrugBuyers.Com: klonopin

Hey, diggs.

This time I agree with you on both counts.

This argument has sufaced before and I though, besides personal preferances we put it to bed. In the U.S. especially, the FDA ensures that generics are no different than the brand name. IT IS ALL IN YOUR MIND.

And speaking as someone, who had what I consider a bad Klonopin addition (compounded by depression), Klonopin withdrawl was by far the worst experience in my life. And I was only using at peak 4 - 6 mg a day.

Benzo's are great, but long term daily use will cause addiction and tolerance as great as alcohol, to which they are closely related and is also why you MUST not just stop taking benzo's if you have been taking them for a long time.

Benzo withdrawl has been compared to heroin withdrawl in its physical symptoms. I have never been addicted to heroin, but from Trtainspotting and the like, I can say it was different but not in a good way.

Me, I took a two week vaction and bascically chain smoked and hid in my apartment with the usual flue like symtoms and unbeliveable anxiety, the worst I ever had in my life multiplied by ten. I had a panic attact in the supermarket holding a head of lettuce, thinking eveyone was looking at me knowing I was a reciovering addict. I had the shakes so bad on the way back I could barely drive. Horrible. And this was doctor prescribed or misprescribed is more like it.

The only thing that kept me from doing it and succeeding in my first attempt to quit was I was just so sick of them; by the time of withdrawl I had felt worse than before I started using them. And I even stuck to the dosing regime 100% thoughout the "treatment." I felt like suing my physciatrist for getting me addicted to it.

Which is also why, I disagree strongly with anyone that says that any bezo is good for long term anxiety treatment. Tolerance and addiction is all but guaranteed. And the addiction in itself (how many of us are addicted to coffee; I think addiction, is almost always used ina negative way while addiction is simply the brain doing its job, but that is another story) wouldn't be so bad were it not for the tolerance and how quickly it developed (I can believe that someone could do 10mg a day).

I know others argue it, but for me Paxil was the lifsafer. I have never slept so well in my life, was never able to focus as well as I can now, am avle to sit through meetings without worrying if I am doing something wrong, etc.

My regular doctor recommended it after he saw what Klonopin had done to me and I have been thankfull even since.
