I hate to be on klonopin but it will basically kill any anxiety you have. Its a powerful drug and can be very addictive. I'm only taking it now to bridge the gap until the remeron is fully working. Then I'm tapering off; but if you take it, the weight of the world comes off your shoulders. Its crazy stuff BUT in the right hands with a good doctor and someone who won't abuse it can be a life saver. How many does he want you to take? Short term? Long term? It has a much longer half life then Xanax but shorter the Valium. But if you can't sleep...it will help. It basically increases GABA and kills your SNS, so no adrenaline will be flowing.
