Has anyone been taking klonopin for a long period of time? I have been taking it as needed for 3 1/2 years. Over this summer I have had a horrible time with worsening anxiety due to life changes. I have been taking klonopin almost everyday and it doesn't seem to be knocking out the anxiety like it used to. This is the only med that has saved me from the horrible anxiety and now I am getting MORE anxiety thinking that it is going to poop out on me. Anyone out there experiencing anything like this? THanks......I have posted so much here over the past few weeks, you all are probably getting sick of me!!!

I've had a similar experience with xanax. I always had it on hand for a 'just in case' moment, but rarely had to use them. This summer was a different story, I was popping one almost daily. Toward the last few I took, they really didn't seem to be doing a whole lot. I think your body just starts to get used to it and eventually needs a bit more to do the trick.

Hello!I had the same thing happen to me with Ativan!It saved my life!It all the sudden stopped working for me. I had to switch to Klonopin. Also, with Xanax, the lowest dose worked forever for me. Then my anxiety got SO bad, it just wouldn't knock the tiniest bit of my anxiety. The gave me 5 days worth of a higher dose til my dr got back from vacation. It helped majorly, just by kicking it up a notch. But they didn't want me on the xanax at a higher dose, so switched me to the Ativan. Maybe it's as simple as switching to something different?

Hope you find relief soon!Anxiety is not fun to deal with
Hugs,
