I have GAD as well as Panic Disorder. Was originally on Alprazalam but had to much breakthrough anxiety so we tried clonazepam. Result, less frequent dosing with nearly no breakthrough anxiety.

Comment:
Works very well if you take it as prescribed. It can be a very addictive drug but if you use it the right way and you do not stay on it for a very long time and you will not become physically and mentally addicted.I have been on all different types of anxiety and panic disorder medication and in most of them are addictive, I’ve been taking them since I am 12 I am 27 and I have had not one problem

I've taken this on an as-needed basis for 25 years. I take buspirone daily, which handles most anxiety, but when I'm very upset I take this too. It's been wonderful. I've never had an addiction problem. I've had no side effects with this drug. I'm hoping to start NeuroStar treatments within the next 2-3 months.

Comment:
When I initially began taking this medication it was wonderful. The panic attacks completely stopped, however after 2 years I became physically dependent on it. This is the WORSE drug to withdraw from! It almost killed me! This drug should be banned indefinitely!
