Klonopin is a good drug. I took it for almost 9 years until the drug
suddenly stopped working for me. Not sure why though.....I think I had other
stressors going on in my life @ the time. Perhaps, the drug did not quit
working and I just needed a higher dosage at that time in my life. Anyway, I
am on a combo of lexapro and valium and doing ok. My pdoc said I could go
drug again.
