I have to agree that for some people, some benzos do not lose efficacy after even after long term, daily use. I was actually able to reduce my benzo use from a prescribed 4-mg down to 2.0-mg clonazepam on my own over about a four month period about a year ago. I had to go back to 3.0-mg b/c of re-emergence of symptoms.
We could debate all day if it was w/d or re-emergence, I'm going with re-emergence, b/c the symptoms were the exact symptoms that I was put on clonazepam to assist with about a decade ago. For example, I had no insomnia on lowering dose, though had very intense but specific symptoms of my anxiety all of which came back and no new ones were noted.
I regret ever allowing my physicians to prescribe me benzos long term, scoring them mystify for years b/f that, and for swalloing every one of them. SSRIs/even newer versions (SNRIs/SSRIs) still at my age (mid-40s) cause me as many problems, if not more, then b/f I ever saw a therapist, GP physician or dope dealer for help with my anxiety. So I refuse to take those. I want off all dependency forming substances ASAP (likely a couple of years min.) I won't take GABA drugs (lyrica, gabapentin), I do not drink... So I have a few things not going against me.
I do believe clonazepam, if maybe the one of the many, is a benzo that does not lose its anti-anxiety (GAD / Agoriphobia) properties over even long periods of time (10 years).
I really want to get completely off benzos, but genuinely I am scared to hell to go through the pain everyone describes. It's sounds so much worse than my original disorders (which I still present with at enough intensity to be prescribed a small clonazepam dose or Xanax prn, i.e. a new psych would very likely agree I "need it".)
I'm a fucking mess without them, having tapered and gotten through PAWs once in this ten years (2007), only to go back on b/c my life was severely impacted by the agoraphobia and GAD- but no other symptoms people describe as PAWs, just my original issues.
I believe I can get off them now or never b/c I've done years of CBT while on clonazepam, and if that therapy worked, as I feel it has, then I should be able to handle my new baseline anxiety issues much better than when I began self-medicating.
Anyway... My fears are very real, the OP is in a great position to not become like myself. So, listen time the above. Consider my predicament vs. what you were prescribed for and spread the news, benzos are boring, dangerous acutely when combined with other depressants and chronically alone.
If I had a god, I'd be praying every day to ease my taper fears, and to guard my mind against what hopefully isn't inevitable insanity. OP you have very, very little of any of this too worry about, I sort of hijacked your thread with my personal b.s.
Talk to your doc if you're concerned, you could taper a quick bit, probably not a bad idea unless you've ever enjoyed the benzo beyond that it treated your diagnosed disorder - if you felt "good, too good, really", fucking RUN!
