[QUOTE="Vicky4364, post: 697685, member: 20678"] RN, my heart really goes out to you. My brother is a lifelong drug addict (he's 40 now) and I've seen how any sort of substance abuse can completely wreck and destroy families. We were only prescribed the Klonopin after trying about 5 other medications, and nothing was effective. Even on the long-term medications like Zoloft and Prozac, we noticed no difference in his anxiety, or in the frequence of panic attacks. And as I've said, my son doesn't like the feeling the Klonopin gives him; it knocks him out to where he can hardly function, and gives him nightmares. So while it is a last resort to avoiding a panic attack for him, he doesn't express any desire to take them at other times. I agree that talk therapy is crucial. My son is a very open and engaging person, so he doesn't have much trouble talking about things. Hopefully, that will work in his favor with this new counselor. [/QUOTE]
