Comments: i have klonazepam that i carry with me for panic attacks, but i'm always too scared to take it  i'll hardly even take Advil anymore... i've been going to counseling for about a month and it's helped a lot. i've got allergies or a cold or something this week and i feel like it's undone all of my hard work to feel better so far
