I'm glad they work for you - but other people have different experience with them.

I guess I'm high risk for addiction...
So I'm going to have to be careful how I use them.

> I was on clonazepam 1mg for many months and never had to raise the dosage.

That is good.

> If you need benzos then you need benzos.

Well... Chlorpromazine will drug me if I take enough of that. That is probably just as helpful to me (truth be told) and isn't as addictive. There are always other options.

> benzos are so effective I would wonder why someone would want to stop taking them.

Because some people find they do develop a tolerance (they need more to achieve the same effects over time).

I guess it depends on the person...
