I still hold that.

Oddly enough, clonazepam is what drove my friend into the institution.
Quoting: Dionysian Fullaflattus Yes... Benzodiazepines are among the most dependence liable of all drugs. Only ethyl alcohol is more so. Unlike the opiates, withdrawing from benzodiazepines can be fatal.
When Diazepam ('Valium') was invented it was prescribed to anyone that asked and even more that didn't... primarily housewives, as it turned out to be, would end up on a combination of diazepam and an amphetamine stimulant. One ad for Valium called it "Mother's Little Helper".
I do not like the physical feeling that clonazepam or other benzodiazepines give me; furthermore, I am prone to paradoxical symptoms.
Really they are awful drugs. They are far inferior to opiates, and even cannabis, in the treatment of anxiety disorders, especially Social Anxiety.
A well-guarded secret is that opiates have been known for 200 (perhaps since the dawn of history even...) years to be highly effective anti-psychotic agents.
Opiates are far superior in that regard to benzodiazepines, and light-years ahead of the standard lame excuses for anti-anxiety medication that is usually prescribed.
