I am currently prescribed the generic version of klonopin, clonazepan. I had .5 mg doses which can be taken 2x daily if needed.

I also suffer from depression and am on medication for that as well.

I was struggling to keep consistenly getting my medications renewed before they ran out. My doctor's office is 40 minutes away and between the travel time, wait time, and waiting for the pharmacy to get my script filled it could be a 2-3 hour experience.
I noticed that when my anxiety would hit me the hardest and I'd be on the verge of a panic attack.

Anyway one month I didn't get my script filled in time and ran out of medication. I got it renewed a couple days later and was so anxious I took around 5-6 pills for no specific reason other than me not thinking straight. My script is for 60 .5mgs a month. I ended up going on some sort of binge and woke up later afternoon with ALL 60 of my pills gone. From what I remember, which isn't much, I took all 60 within a few hour period. I have almost no memory of this and was told I was acting very odd and out of it.

So being lucky from not OD the worst part was I had to go a full month without any anxiety relieve. It was a STRUGGLE. I've done all sort of recreational drugs but I don't find klonopin very fun as a recreational drug, I'm more into the opiod euphoria feeling.

After the very tough month went by with no anxiety relief I finally got my new script filled today. My tolerance was completely reset and I decided to take 3 .5MG pills to calm me down.

Within 40 minutes all I can say is SWEET RELIEF. This drug with all its controversies does WONDERS and after this experience makes me realize how crucial it is for me to take it as directed.

I feel FANTASTIC right now; calm, happy, energized, social, and just an over all great well-being.

Just thought I'd share my experience to you all and good luck with your trials and tribulations!
