First, kudos for you for breaking your cocaine addiction! Yay you!

I'm confused. You say you are back on the klonopin now? And just living with the C?

When I initially went into my docs office asking for something for the anxiety, I asked for xanax because I read some earlier posts on how effective it was for some. But my doctor refused to give it to me and gave me klonopin instead. I was mad at him because I thought klonopin was only for seizures. I was new with drug info, what can I say!

I am vain enough to worry about the hair loss though!

I hate washing my hair and getting clumps of hair in my hands! And finding hair all over my tops and the apartment floor when I need it to be on my head! I look so much worse with my thin hair. I miss my locks! And don't even think the klonopin helps me all that much except for allowing me to sleep soundly which, in turn, helps the IBS. It is at its worse when I haven't slept enough!

I don't know how hard it is to get off this drug, though. I'm scared to go off of it as I have heard it is a hard one to come off of.

Do you take any other meds?
