At my last talk therapy session, my therapist (who I have been seeing for 4 + years) recommended meds to help manage my anxiety. I have been on meds before, and this isn't the first time she brought this up, but something just clicked for me and I decided to take her up on the offer of a referral.
Last night I met with the LPN that she referred me, and she prescribed me Klonipin, which I have taken before, but only "as needed". The regimen is to take at least one daily, with the option to take up to 4.
I picked up the prescription this morning and as we speak I have them in my hot little hand. Anyone have any experience with this medication? Good, bad, ugly? The last time I took it was back in 2010, and I remember nothing.
TIA!

Re: Small mental health update
I'm sorry to hear about your niece, that's awful.
Yes, in my state an LPN can dispense medication, even controlled substances. She specializes in psychatric care, and has been working in the mental health field for 25 years.
And yes, my anxiety is situational. I am going through a divorce.
