"I've tried, quite literally, every medication there is for panic disorder and Klonopin is the only one that works for me.  After being confined to just two rooms in my house for a year (yes... I was scared to go into the other rooms), I'm now able to go outside and even drive up to twenty miles from my house without a "support person" (three years later).  My first panic attack was while driving and I totaled a car, so this has been a MAJOR improvement for me. I am prescribed 2mgs three times daily but only take 500mcgs as needed, unless I'm having a rush of panic attacks and need to take it preemptively for a few days, because I don't want to develop a low level tolerance.  It's given me my life back."
