Hi Quintal
I am also in the UK and not sure I agree with you on the issue of the use of clonazepam. My GP has been prescribing it to me since 1993 at my request, he is pretty good with benzodiazepines (with the expection of loprazolam and flurazepam there is nothing he has not prescribed both on the NHS and privately). After a few years I asked him if he knew exactly what I was taking it for and he rhymed off a long list of off label uses, I was most surprised. Turned out he had a friend in the states who is also a doctor.
My Consultant Psych has also given it to me although he prefers lorazepam (Ativan).
