I've been on it for 2 1/2 years (1 mg/day) with excellent results, no side effects, and no need to increase the dose. My pdoc is very careful with benzos, but really likes Klonopin for anxiety/panic patients because he says that this is a common pattern -- many people can stay on it for years at the same dose and still achieve the same results.
Of course, if you do go off it, it must be done gradually. I can accept that, given the high benefit:risk ratio.
