Thanks Matt. Yes, drinking is not an option. It would only make the insanity worse. The klonopin is actually doing what it is supposed to do. I just waited to long to take it. It is like climbing a hill now to get the med caught up to the anxiety level. Similar to waiting until pain is excruiating before taking a pain med. the med works much better if taken before the problem gets out of hand. I am just hardheaded and try to only take the klonopin when absolutely necessary. I should have started it yesterday morning when I first noticed the anxiety levels increasing but waited until the evening before I was to go to my AA meeting. So now it is just a matter of playing catch up with the anxiety. It is just frustrating to be going through it.
