Klonopin (and all the other benzodiazepines) have ruined many man...

I agree with you that these types of medications have ruined many lives. Especially those who abuse the medication. I have anxiety attacks and was prescribed 1-2 .5mg per day. I only take .25mg in the am and .25mg in the pm to control my anxiety attacks. It has worked. I have been on this medication for a year and haven't had to increase my dose. If you ask my opinion I think that Klonopin is much less dangerous than the other fast acting benzodiazepines like xanax, valium, etc. I think you just have to be really careful and constantly in communication with your doctor and things will be fine. If you abuse this medication it is dangerous.
