Hi Bevs,
I have been taking clobazam for quite a few years now and for the last 3 years i have taken it in conjunction with Epilim and Keppra and it just does the job to take the edge off the panic attacks that i used to have really badly. All my meds seem to complement each other nicely now after years as a guinea pig for everything going. I know it's different strokes for different folks but it seems to do the job for me although my specialist keeps trying to lessen my dosage of all my meds I say if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I was just taken off clobazam because my epiletologist says it only works for 6 months to a year. I never went through withdrawl, probably because of that, but I sure feel better. From what I understand it is only used as an add on drug. Are you on others?
