I use to take Xanax, but doctor years ago switched me to Klonopin . I take 5-6 MG's daily. Am I physically addicted, probably. But I have severe PTSD and Panic Attacks and need them. Medication is not always the ans, but sometimes you need to outweigh the benfits and negatives. Sure, I wish I didn't have to take them at all, but I know I would not be able to function. I never abuse them, I don't drink , don't do drugs..... I hope you only need a little bit to get by and then don't need them for long term.... Good luck
