In reply to No abuse, but still want to hoard Klonopin..., posted by 4WD on July 27, 2005, at 22:55:08
No i think your feelings towards it,and your reaction of it id bet are more common than you can imagine.
Klonopin seems ideal for stopping what is or even appear to be a mental break down....crying bouts,anger,self pity,loathing,racing thoughts,unbearable sinking fear and anxiety.
It seems once klonopin is taken,soon after the tears stop and u can actualy form reasonable sentances again,sound familiar?
I find this good in a way because first it...can prevent what seems to be a all blown breakdown from bringing one to a hospital or worse yet an ambulance to one,where chances are all the hospital can do at the *moment* is sedate you anyway.So having klonopin handy might save that ambulance call.Also for people around u,who want to help but dont know what to do with a person screaming and crying there head off,klonopin can allow u to be able to sit down and tell them whats going on,and any plan that can be made with there help can be much better achieved with u having ur senses about u after a klonopin dose opposed to u (i say u in general,not "u")being in a complete erratic state.
Last it is said that people on klonopin,and benzos period are **LEAST LIKLY**** to abuse the medication,or have trouble with addiction of it.
I guess people forget why they began taking it in the first place when they notice worsened anxiety from it when they attempt to discontinue,we cant forget some form of anxiety brought most of us to ever even considering ingesting this drug,i think we do forget that in our quest to be fearful and critical of any benifit they might have.
Aside from all that,i also have the same worries,with depression and anxiety being what im plagued with,i find it EXTREMLY difficult to understand if klonopin is helping me in the LONG RUN or making progress harder.Sometimes i feel i just want to never touch it again,and then the above paragraphs will apply to me and ill be EXTREMLY thankful theres klonopin in the house and im not OUT!
Also i worked in computer sales during xmas,it was very very high volume non stop people and i truly doubt i would have been able to get through it not having klonopin.Instead although i suffered internally i did my job without a hitch.
When u think of all the people who sel medicate with alcholol or other harder drugs,or even use benzos irresonably,i think it then seems more reasonable that we take our anxiety meds often but yet we unlike self medication can achieive some type of limitations.Sorry for the long post,i wish i knew myself if stopping a benzo would achieve progress more rapid,but because anxiety is a key issue i dont see how ill eve know that.Good luck
