In reply to Klonopin- more articulate on it!, posted by utopizen on March 20, 2003, at 15:29:59
Utopizen,
Would it be appropriate on this board to give you the name and contact # of a very good psychiatrist in New York? He is a non-benzophobe who appears to be very knowledgable about anxiety disorders. You live around Manhattan, right?
I just had my first appointment with him last week, and here's how it went. I told him that I was experiencing a tremendous amount of anxiety last year, and that the university health center prescribed Klonopin (short term) and it really seemed to help. He nodded, and agreed, saying that Klonopin is a "great med" and he "prescribes it to a number of his patients long-term without loss of benefit or tolerance". He then proceeded to reach for his presciption pad and wrote me out for a month's supply. Wow! No weird looks like I was some sort of addict or party animal looking to augment my 6-pack. So much different from the university health center who kept saying it was too "addictive" to prescribe long term even though it helped tremendously.
Let me know if you're interested, and I'll give you his contact information, and you can dump this other mad scientist.
Matt
