Re: Daily Benzodiapm
[QUOTE=LilyLabVA;1847208]Just curious if anyone here takes a daily benzodiazepine?
I am prescribed .5mg of Klonapin (Clonazepam) and it's been about 5-6 years. Yes, I know they should not be taking long term so please do not reply with that as it would be unhelpful. This was prescribed to me by my Psychiatrist (in fact 2 different opinions agreed to help deal with panic). My PCP knows I take it as well. All top rated doctors in a large city. Anyway...
I've been taking 2 x 5mg benzos daily since the age of 50 and I'm now almost 66.
I've never increased the dose and seriously doubt that they are doing much for me after all this time but as you say they're my safety net.
I don't see a reason to give them up at this point.
