long term use of benzos

Posted by darwinsmunky on November 11, 2008, at 15:01:06

Ive been prescribed klonopin for about a year now and after trying many different medications have found this to be the most effective. I am bipolar and in addition to klonopin i also take lamictal. Ive tried many antipsychotics in the past but find them far too debilitating. My concern is the long term affects of taking a benzo. Im aware of the addiction to this medication but what worries me more are any disorders or other side effects that i might incur later down the road. Ive spoken with my psych about it and to his knowledge there really arent any. If anyone has any experience with this or has read anything that says otherwise i would be very appreciative to learn about it. Thx
