Are psychiatrists reluctant to give patient's anti-anxiety medications such as klonopin? I have a prescription for klonopin but the dose is .5mg and I am still having panic attacks and anxiety and alot of jerking before I fall asleep. How can you find out how the psychiatrist feels about prescribing medication? I can't rely on my doctor anymore, he just tells me to relax and take a warm shower before bed or to breathe deeply.
