Mouse,
Back in the 1990s, my pscyhe, at my request, put me on 3 mg of clonazepam. This forced me to want to do nothing but sleep. At the time I worked at a hospital and took my lunch break sleeping in one of the empty rooms.
My sister, a nurse, noticed this and told me that it may be a good idea to cut back the clonazepam to about half a milligram every day and that's what I have been taking for more than 16 years.
There is a lot of talk about how anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications can be "addicting." Maybe so. I don't have an answer to that, but I do know that in moderation these medications can bring relief, a peace that also comes with a good therapist.
