Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: Been taking Klonopin for 15 years to combat anxiety. Do not take everyday, only when needed. It is a God-send and allows me to focus on the task at hand. Highly recommend to anyone experiencing high anxiety for long periods. It will definitely take the edge off.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I have been prescribed many nerve medications but now that I am on Klonopin I feel like a brand new person. I actually feel like getting out and being more social with people. A big thanks to the people who made the little nerve pill called klonopin. You have made my life so much more worth living. I actually want to be around my family and friends now. Thank you very much for making my life so much easier.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: Works great to stop anxiety and panic attacks. I take the low dose 0.5 mg pill only when needed. However, after using it occasionally for 2 years, I feel I am a little emotionally dependent on it. If I'm out of these pills, I feel nervous. I would recommend using this pill only when in panic or anxiety and also learning other coping strategies, such as regular exercise, meditation, self-talk, yoga, crafts & artwork or something fun & productive, or a relaxing bubble bath!!!

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: Works very well for my chronic panic disorder. Better than Xanax as it provides a lower dose but consistent treatment. I'd highly recommend it.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Restless Legs Syndrome: I have been taking this drug for years for restless leg syndrome and it is fabulous. I could not sit through a movie at a theatre without having to get up and stand at the door or at against a wall within the first quarter of the show. My legs also kept me up at night. I was taking a full mg at night and one another in the day but the dr cut me down to 1/2 in the day and 1/2 in the evening-not as effective but apparently this can be a very addictive

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Anxiety: I've been on 1mg / day of Klonopin for over 2 years now, for social anxiety disorder. It saved my life, which was spinning out of control. Panic attacks that would come out of nowhere. Embarrassing social situations, awful feelings of dread. It's settled me back down ad allowed me to be myself again, more or less. I hate the fact that I am dependent on a drug to be "normal". It's a secret I keep from everyone in my life. I know I'm dependent on it now because I went 3 days without it once, and on the 3rd day, I was Mr. Anxiety again, but worse. Trembling hands, motor skills out of whack, disorientation.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I have had anxiety for about 4 years now. It started after I graduated high school and has worsened since I had my son. I have tried Prosac, Lexapro and Cymbalta. I have also tried Xanax for my bad panic attacks. Recently I tried Depakote because my doctor said I had signs of bipolar disorder. After all that nothing seemed to help except the Klonopin. I am taking it now by itself and I don't feel that HORRIBLE anxious feeling anymore. Highly Recommended !

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Bipolar Disorder: It really helps me control my mood. I normally take one to two every day depending on what is happening. For example, I completely blew up at my girlfriend the other day over something completely stupid, took one of these, and my anger was gone. It really helps.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Insomnia: I find that this medication works on insomnia when other drugs don't except for a true heavy duty narcotic sleeping pill. It also helps as a very mild tranquilizer for 24 hours so it is spread throughout the day to calm anxiety attacks or the fight or flight affect. It is good even if you have bouts of depression because without sleep your depression worsens. So I give this medicine a 10. I have been using it now for 3 years with no side effect. I am also on an antidepressant as well. But getting more than 3 hours of sleep a night is wonderful especially without flashbacks.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I suffered with generalized anxiety since high school, then later as I got older it turned into panic attacks. I was so tired of having to deal with even the thought of having a panic attack. The day my Dr. put me on Klonopin(clonazepam) my panic attacks stopped. So greatful!

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I had suffered with severe panic, and anxiety disorder for years. After trying every medication out there, including effexor, I felt that there was no hope. I finally found a Dr. that actually listened to my symptoms and he put me on klonopin. I can now function properly through out my day. I never thought that I would feel the way I did before my disorder started. I so thankful that there is hope, and that I don't have to suffer through the days any longer.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Bipolar Disorder: This med has been great. I have suffered Bipolar Disorder and panic attacks for years. It has helped me tremendously. You may need to adjust the amount so you don't become tired during the day but once you find the optimal dose I feel it's a worthwhile medication.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Anxiety: I have had moderate anxiety with agoraphobia for about 5 years. The peak of it came about just before my first day at work, My doctor placed me on 0.5mg/day when required. I took the pill 2 days prior to work and thank goodness, I was able to focus and speak my mind. Downside is the drowsiness side effect.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I have been taking this medication for a long time now. before i was put on Klonopin I always took panic attacks and felt nervous all the time. I stayed depressed and also had thoughts of Suside. My doc had put me on everthing u could imagine. I was on Paxil CR, Lexapro, Vistiral and Sequirrel. They never helped me at all. So I decided to change from my Retarded Foreign Doc and got a new Doc I told him my problems and he said he was going to start me on Klonopin. Since then i my life is great!

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: I've been suffering from depression for years. The last part of the 90's was okay, but starting in 2000 things went downhill fast. Two close friends moved overseas, the company I worked for layed off after 19 years. In January my father passed away, another friend was murdered by a stalker and to top it all off I had to my cat of 21 years down. I found myself not wanting to go outside, getting panicky, etc. My doctor tried a host of medicines but the only thing that worked was klonopin and Adderall. Thank God for these medicines.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Restless Legs Syndrome: Klonopin is as effective as turning off a switch. I had no tolerance problems during 17 years of taking this drug, and no unpleasant side effects.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Anxiety: I've been on it for 2 years and YES it is a great drug to help with anxiety. Without it my life wouldn't be the same at all. It is very hard to come off of. But you have to make a choice to live with the pain of anxiety or be addicted to something that fixes the problem. Neither one is great but I don't like pain.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Panic Disorder: Thank goodness for this medication. I could probably not live a normal life without it. I have so many fewer panic attacks while on it. I have tried almost everything. This is the only one that works for me. It also helped my father. He was on it until the day he died.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Anxiety: I've been taking Klonopin for about 3 months now. Although it does alleviate my anxiety levels, I find that I sometimes get agitated very easily and become short tempered.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Bipolar Disorder: Klonopin works. I can go from anger to a puppy within fifteen minutes or less. Sometimes when I anticipate a major issue I take one to prepare myself and I'm fit to go nice and smooth. No anxiety, no anger, just calm, cool and collected. It's an excellent anxiety medication.

Klonopin (clonazepam) for Anxiety: I have been taking Klonopin for 5-6 years now. I think it is a wonder drug and I couldn't function without it. I have (social) anxiety disorder with a history of panic attacks many years ago. I generally take 0.25mg one to four times a day (as needed) and 0.5mg before bed as it helps me sleep. I cut my scored 0.5mg pills in half. My doctor has prescribed 2mg/day but I rarely exceed 1.5mg total and probably only average 1-1.25mg. In all the time I've taken it, I've never had a desire to increase it because it simply "works" and makes me feel 100% normal with no side effects. I took Valium (diazepam) for many years but I always felt anxious as it was wearing off and before taking more. Klonopin doesn't have that effect on me probably because of the long half-life and the way I space it out. I fully expect to take it for the rest of my life.
