I see a therapist every 3 months for my anxiety. I currently take 1mg klonopin twice daily, but sometimes 1 is enough and it does the job. I've taken 3 500mg Tylenol today and that was pointless. Whatever pain I have taking that much Tylenol should help. It's everyday 24/7 and I'm only 33. It's not fair that I feel like I'm dying a little each day dealing with chronic pain.
