When I was first diagnosed with anxiety disorder, my doctor gave me a xanax script, but I could only take three pills in one week. He said it was highly addictive and didn't want me to get hooked on it.
Many years later, a doc gave me Klonopin and told me that it was non-addictive, though I've since found out otherwise. It was originally made for seizures and accidently found to stop panic attacks. So the doc said.
Now I only take them "as needed". not on a regular basis and they still work that way....no need to take it every day if you don't need it!
Hope this has helped...
Love, B
