How dose a person get prescribed clonazepam when I live in a community who does nothing but abuse addictive drugs but what I need is that very thing. I been on senaquan, sequel, umm some other garbage and it's all because these doctors here are all looking at you like your drug seeking and won't just write the Damn script.. I have these anxiety attacks that are so bad my palms swet and my heart hurts so bad to take a deep breath that sometimes I just no I'm having a heart attack and there has been those couple times I've had them rush me to the hospital and been strapped up with EKG MONITORED things just for them to look at me and say "sir you have the heart of a 20 year old" and its embarrassing to realize I'm having such anxiety that it makes me go to measures to where I go to the hospital. And I'm a very paranoid person scared to death of people in General and it's all signs of paranoia and bass anxiety and I can't even get a doc to write me a script of BENZODIAZEPINES cause that's what I most definitely need I Meehan I don't need 20 years of school and be board certified just to see I need this drug FOR REAL.. ITS A ***** to live with this ****. Xanax, valium, or clonazepam one of the above I need so very bad Its not funny.. Please tell me what I can do.. How do you get it?? Do you need it or they just script writing happy docs where your from lol seriously tho

What are you treating?  Let's say it's anxiety, since you're on an anxiety forum.  Clonazepam might be enough, but you won't know unless you try it.  It's a relaxant.  But usually, benzos don't last long enough at peak capacity to really put a stay to anxiety, though clonazepam is a long acting one.  Zoloft works completely differently, allowing the body to reuse serotonin, which helps regulate mood.  If it works, it'll be working all the time, but could have more side effects.  Both can be very difficult to quit, but benzos are not only difficult but can also be dangerous to quit.  Clonazepam is more likely to work for more people than Zoloft.  And often, probably most often, people treated for anxiety end up on both an ssri and a benzo.  So, hard question to answer either/or.
