I've been on clonazapam (klonopin) since 2007. I was originally on 5 mg a day, but about 2 years ago, went down to 3.5 mg a day without too much trouble. It really helps my anxiety. But I will say I am heavily physically addicted to it. I miss a dose and it's ugly. I'm also tempted to abuse it, which isn't good, so I just get my prescription filled 2 weeks at a time, which really helps me manage.

I also take seroquel, and it's a godsend for anxiety, so if you can handle the thought of being on an anti-psychotic, you might want to consider it. I don't have the same physical dependence issues with it.
