Hi,
I was wondering if there is anything thing out there like Klonopin. I took Klonopin for a month or so a while back and unfortunatly had to be taken off of it because it made me break out in hives. I really think it helped my overall anxiety, and I like the concept of slow release. Is there another slow release benzo like Klonopin out there? I am curious to hear what some of you ladies has tried. I have xanax but I don't like the idea of short quick acting. My family is ridden with addiction problems so I am afraid to use the xanax afraid I might use it too much as a crutch. I had a very irresponsible doctor when I was 18 who gave me a prescription of valium and told me to take one any time I felt anxious. Well that was a bad idea because I felt anxious all the time. I ended up dependent on the pills and had to be weened off of them, which created a mistrust in doctors for a long while. I would like something that might have an overall calming effect. Any ways thanks for any input in advance :)

I am seeing my doctor tomorrow. I think I will ask my doctor about buspar. I have never heard of it. Hopefully she can explain a little about it to me. Thanks for the info.
