I could not make that up if I tried.
I blame doctors. I'm past the forgiving 'They didn't know better' and am frankly just f*cking pissed these days.
As you said.. if I could change any one thing in my life, there's nothing else that even enters my mind but 'not starting klonopin'. Don't let it happen to you, guys..

vector, I have spent many, many months feeling anger and rage for the situation I have been in. Towards the MD's, the drug manufacturers and 'big pharma'. Thank goodness I don't feel quite as angry anymore. I seriously considered a law suit, but I don't think any litagation has brought about any big wins for the obvious serious damage to benzo users. I think there have been small victories but not without months and months of suits which of course costs a fortune. I decided I did not have the strength emotionally for that huge fight and definitely not the financial resources .
I don't know why there has been no research done for a anti-anxiety medication to replace benzos. Maybe it has been researched, but I have never heard about it.
