15 years is long : Clonazepam is a very addictive medications. If you can use meditation like Ziva meditation might help. You can use soothing teas like chamomile & use essential oils- Lavendar oil is excellent in calming. A long list of side effects are given,but if nothing else works stay on clonazepam.
