Dear rideeta:

You mentioned abusing clonazepam- I used it for 17 years, 4 mg per day. Had a difficulty coming off it but I did Oct 2013. When I tried to come off it I did have difficulty sleeping. A responsible psychiatrist wouldn’t prescribe it for longer than a few months at the most, short term. There are other psychiatric medications that are less addictive, way less and are prescribed responsibly long term, particularly the SSRI family of drugs.

If you are okay answering the following, please do: are you prescribed only clonazepam, how long have you been on it, how many mg per day are you prescribed and how many mg do you take when you abuse it?

One more thing: were you diagnosed with any psychiatric disorder?
