hi mrscandice, i have been on klonopin for over 13 yrs., it helped for the first few years , very well., along with zoloft. however, i found that the panic and the deppresion came back.,  i was on a set dose of 2mg 3 times a day<klonopin., for all these years., i was always afraid to take more., and i did not want to increase this med. i know it is very addicting., however., i myself must be amuned to it., i need to find something new myself. i am not suicidal or anything., i just get very panicy in certain situations., where i thought i was over that already! i had been in therapy for the first few yrs of taking the meds., and that helped so much., once a week for an hour., then the therapist i was seeing got transfered and its been all downhill from there. i moved from ny to nv, and i just can not seem to find the right meds either. i can relate to the scared feelings., i can only drive a certain distance, and can not do the things i used to. i am 49 a mother of two . it seems that the klonopin only lasts so long. i try to do deep breathing. sit down., collect my thoughts., and try to do something that will take my mind off the panic., like cleaning!!  i am sorry you feel this way., i know how it feels and it is no fun. i am still battleing this after so many yrs., the drs. out here in nv., really are not into "therapy sessions". they give you the meds., and out you go. i think seeing a therapist will help.  just talking to someone with an objective view makes you feel better., i hope you feel a little better, knowing that there are alot of us suffering from the same feelings.,  you can email me anytme., take care., donnalyn
