Hey BRC,
> If you don't mind me I would like to ask you a few more questions
~~~I'm an open book when it comes to discussing these matters.
>
> How many milligrams a day do you take~~~I actually titrate my dosing. Now, don't get caught up on the fact that my doses seem low compared to yours... it's not important at all... I require what I require and your requirements are suited to you. I'm a small person and ubersensitive to meds. My highest dose has been 2 mgs per day divided. My usual maintance dosing now is between .25 mgs per day and .5 mgs per day. Despite this small dosing, I know if I don't take it and it is what I require. Most folks doses are between 2-6 mgs per day.
and how long have you been on the Klonopin?~~~3 years consistently, give or take a few months off in that time frame.
My insurance only covers for generic so I have never actually taken the Klonopin brand name med. Can you tell a differene b/t the brand name and the generic?
~~~I use the Teva generic and always have. I generally use the term Klonopin, but clonazepam would be a more accurate term to use as to what I'm actually taking.
>
> And do you take any other meds to help with your anxiety. Do not answer if this line of questioning is to personal.~~~I'm on no other RX meds. I experimented with the alternative route and trialed several things -again, like the RX trials I did before Klonopin, most "stuff" didn't pan out. What did pan out really well and I have been on for a year is high EPA dose Salmon Oil. I think it's great stuff. Once I had been on Salmon Oil for about 2 months, my K dose decreased.

> Glad to have met you.~~~I'm very glad to have met you, too.
>
> You also keep me updated on your successes and stay in touch. I think you could help alot of people on this site.~~~Thank you for that, it really makes me feel good about myself.
Please take care of you.
