Is Clonzepam Really Bad

I can't believe all of the negative things I HAVE READ About clonzepam. i've been on it 8 months 1mg per day and now i am scared out of my mind to stop taking it. Can clonzepam and cymbalta be taken together, that's what my doctor wants me on once i'm weaned off the clonzepam, but he only gave me 7 days to get off. can I do it slower myself, but take the cymbalta too. Will cymbalta even help me?

I don't believe there is any problem with clonopin, its been used forever, and for a long time. Yes it is hard getting off, but not as hard as xanax. Yes, you can use the two together, but if klonopin is working for you, you may want to reconsider, with your doctor, making the change. Also, I would recommend weaning yourself off over a three week period if that is what you decide.
