For some odd reason nowadays, most doctors think that benzodiazepines are the spawn of the devil. I don't see how one could become a Klonopin addict because it takes 2 hours to work & half the time you cannot tell it is working (even though it is). There is also no (altleast for me) no euphoria from it. I think we are now paying for the days of the 1960 & 1970s when prescriptions for valium & amphetamines (speed) where handed out like candy to about a third of the country.
Doctors like buspar because it has low abuse potential, but i've never heard of or talked to anyone where buspar actually did much of anything. Buspar takes a month to work & has been proven to only work for a specific type of anxiety disorder- generalized anxiety disorder & has zero efficacy in trials of social phobia, a disorder which Klonopin is the best drug for (besides Nardil, a fairly dangerous MAOI).
