Chris,
I'm taking Xanax not Klonopin although they are very similar. How has it helped? I don't know if it specifically helps my IBS, but it definitely lowers the anxiety level. An example is without it, it takes me forever to convince myself to run an errand because I have a little bit of agoraphobia (fear of open places). With the Xanax, I just grab my purse and go! No anxiety, no debating with myself, no rationalizing reasons not to go, etc. I can just leave the house like a normal person -- without driving myself crazy! (Or crazier, some would say!!)

I would certainly think that overall, a lower anxiety level has got to be helping my IBS, too, although the specific effect is harder to pinpoint.

Does that help? Was that your question?
