I had originally responded privately to the person who initially sent in the post about Klonopin. , my daughter (Chiari II) has been on Klonopin long term and it has been a great med for her. It doesn't seem to have gotten to a point where it is not working. I guess I don't understand how a person could get full benefits from it from only being on it for two weeks. I do know it is important for one to have their liver checked regularly if they are on it.

I have been on Klonopin long term (2yrs+) too, and it is working fine for me, I am due to get the bloodwork done, but I am not worried about it. I havent really increase it except during the time of my fathers illness last year, so, I can see the concern, but? if it is not abused, then I don't see hurt in the long term use in it, plus my Dr. is on top of things, PamH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
