I have been on klonopin 1mg three times a day (every 8-9 hours) for about a year. I keep hearing about all of the negative side effects but have yet to experience them. I haven't had a panic attack at all since starting (was having them several times a week, for seemingly no reason before starting the med). My doc seems unconcerned about negative side effects and says that I could "take it forever" if I want but he'll "detox" be off anytime I ask.

Opinions? Anyone else using klonopin regularly long term?
