Dear WJD,

I'm not one to give advice as I'm not a doctor, but here goes anyway.

Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, which is very addictive and has very nasty side-affects if you ever decide to stop taking it. You also build up a tolerance causing the need more and more of it to get the same effect. I took it for over 2 years .25 - .5 and up to 1mg at bedtime.

There is a group on groups.yahoo.com. It's called 'benzo'. There's some pretty scary stories on there. Lots of addicts and loads of information.

Be careful
