Hi, Only giving clonazepam is not the solution for any illness. It will just stop the symptoms immediately initially but after few months the same dose will become ineffective. Standard practice is to prescribe clonazapam for 4-6 weeks, than to taper it off.

Consuming alcohol or medicine is a form of an addiction.
If you are looking for to leave your addiction then it will not be possible to do it on your own.
You need to consult a Psychiatrist and a Clinical Psychologist for it. Psychiatrist will prescribe you medications to get rid of your addiction and clinical psychologist will conduct therapy sessions for the same.
Combination of both medication and therapy works best in your condition.

Surprising the doctor changed from stalopam to rivotril, stalopam is better medicine and can be taken for a longer time, as you rightly told it has to be taken for few months, consult an astute psychiatrist. All the best.

I'm seeing a psychiatrist right now. He said that the treatment for my generalized anxiety is 1 year. I take Paroxetine (Xet 20 mg) once daily and Rivotril (Clonazepam) 1/8 at night. He decrease the dose of my rivotril, because I take it 1/4 at night to 1/8, he said that in my next appointment, he will not prescribed rivotril anymore. My concerned is that I know it will take quiet sometime to recover, but I have worries everyday, like I don't want to hear loud noises and bang on the door (Im in my auntie's house right now and they don't know my issues, especially my grandma, I don't want her to worry) I feel like, is it for me? Are they angry? But I can brush it off in my head. Just a little beat of breathing or listening to music. But my worries so far is that if I will take the board exam this March 2019? I feel like my mind is not yet ready, but I don't want to disappoint my grandma & parents, they know that I will take the pharmacy board examination this March but as of the moment, I don't want too. Right now, I don't read books and didn't start to review :(I need advice. Thank you.
