- Advice/Tips
- Klonopin has been discussed quite a bit in the forum on PLM and I haven't read much of it because i really have been helped by it and I don't really know if everyone posting really knows what they think they know. Everyone's body chemistry and personal history is different and I think one has to use good judgement and discuss any questions with your p=doc. I review my use of taking klonopin at least once a year with my doc and we both end up agreeing it has helped me immensely and not to fool with that.
