Anyone Else on Clonopin for Anxiety? How Do You Feel It Works for You?

Question by *Rena*: Anyone else on Clonopin for anxiety? How do you feel it works for you?
I am on clonopin for anxiety,and after having been on Xanax and Valium,I’ve found it’s the one that works best for me. How does anyone else that takes this medication feel? Does it work for you? Just getting a general consensus if this is one of the better medications for anxiety/panic attacks,but for me it’s worked great. The Xanax is far far too addicting,and caused me drug addiction problems for awhile,the valium just didn’t seem to work,but the Clonopin seems to effect me how I need it to. How bad does someone’s anxiety have to be usually before they prescribe Clonopin for it? I know that I’ve got severe severe anxiety,along with Agoraphobia, and the clonopin has seemed to help me the most with all of it. What have been other people’s results with this medication? It’s worked great for me,especially for the social anxiety problems that I have,but just for the overall anxiety in general. The others were ok,the xanax worked for a long time,but then it stopped working (developed a tolerance to it,and they couldn’t/wouldn’t up my dose) so I switched,and I feel that the clonopin has done wonders for me vs all of the other ones! I was just wondering what other people’s reactions to this medication has been?

How Can I Get My Dad to Stop Drinking?

Question by : How can I get my dad to stop drinking?
He drinks a lot of wine and beer. Me and my mother asked him to stop this summer and he got to the bottle within two weeks. He gets drunk almost every day now. He doesn’t get violent, just hurtful and sometimes acts like he’s not there. He’s a different person when he drinks. He’ll usually drink a bit with dinner and then drink more in the kitchen without telling us and gets waisted. If anyone mentions it to him, he pauses a few seconds and tries to avoid the question as to if he drank extra or not. Always is the answer yes but then he gets passive aggressive and irritated.
Sorry that I posted it in the Religion and Spirituality just no one seems to be on the other subforums. And please don’t say “Find Jesus/Mohammad/Kristna” because he’s an atheist.

What Help Is Available Within England for Heroin Addiction?

Question by Maverick: What help is available within England for Heroin Addiction?
A family member of mine has a Heroin addiction. I have no idea how I can go about helping them, but having already lost one member to the drug, I do not wish to see another lose their life to it, especially one I’m so close to.

I’ve done some searching, but haven’t really found much information. It seems the only real help available has to be paid for and the prices are extortionate at best.

I don’t have much money myself, and neither does the person I wish to help.
