Yes...generic term for Klonopin. Addictive? Maybe. That could be a problem if you are very young. I'm not
The doc who originally prescribed the clonazepam did so to replace Ativan, which she considered too addictive.
I've been taking it for several years and the dosage has never been increased. I take .5mg per day...sometimes less.
I had to stop taking it once. It was easier to stop than Effexor XR.
Looks like you got a good variety of responses here...all seem valid IMHO.
Keep in mind what missbelle said. Xanax works great for her. Didn't do a thing for me. What works well for one doesn't necessarily work for another. VH has a great point as far as it goes but unfortunately sometimes meds are necessary. Coping skills and meditation may work great for panic attacks. I have no experience with attacks...to me a "panic attack" implies something of relatively short duration.
I hope the med you got works for you. Best of luck

I've heard that is really addictive... But you never know if what you hear is true. If this new med does not work I will ask him to try the Clonazepam, it seems like it's worked well for you!!! Thanks again for the kind reply!!!
