The reasone why clonazepam (klonopin) has worked for you is probably because you get "buzzed" off of it. I take clonazepam when I have to do a speech. Some times it dulls my mental capacity so much that I become stupid. Give me a couple of clonazepam and I could sit naked in front of an audience and not feel any anxiety. If I were you, I would try to ween myself off of the clonazepam because it is generally not indicated for long term treatment. I think of benzodiazepines as mostly "drugs" and not meds because they make you buzzed or high. Also, with clonazepam, a tolerance is built of quickly. So if you have built up to a high dose of clonazepam, then you will have a hell of a time coming off of the stuff.

In a couple of years there will be a few more meds out for the treatment of anxiety disorders with a benign side effect profile. So be patient. Good luck!
