I take klonopin for epilepsy. I take a low dose daily and haven’t had a seizure since 2007 I think. It doesn’t really affect me in any way after getting used to it for a few weeks as a teen. It’s the reason I have a normal life, a drivers license… don’t love the thought of what would happen if I couldn’t get it though. Have seen people take a bottle of the stuff recreationally and I simply don’t understand the appeal.

I had a neurologist convince me that the symptoms I had were anxiety related, so he convinced me to stop Google doctoring and take Clonazepam.  As it turns out the symptoms were very real, so then I had the original condition plus a Benzo addiction that took me a year and a half to solve.  It was a super shitty couple of years since it took me about that long to get back to my original baseline problem.

The withdrawal symptoms also amplified my original issues.
