klonipin for alcohol cravings?

Posted by squaw16 on July 16, 2005, at 20:13:40

Hi everybody,
My pdoc just prescribed me 2 mg of klonipin a day for anxiety and alcohol cravings. He said the klonipin binds to the same receptors as alcohol, so my cravings should go away. I've been taking it for a week now and all I feel is like 2 of the 7 dwarfs - Sleepy and Dopey. Still have alcohol cravings and anxiety. Has anybody ever heard of someone being prescribed klonipin for this reason? Or is my pdoc nuts? I also read klonipin is very addictive and difficult to get off it. Am I in over my head taking this stuff? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
