User Reviews for Clonazepam

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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): Helped with my recovery from being in Iraq.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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): 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.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been taking Klonopin for 9 months now. I take 2mgs a day, it has saved my life. I was suffering from severe depression, mood disorders, agoraphobia, and anxiety disorder. I haven't had any bad side effects either...works like a charm.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I used to be prescribed oxycontin, and became very addicted to pain medicines. I take Klonopin now after detoxing to keep me straight, and take the edge off. This pill keeps me satisfied as far as wanting to use an opiate (pain killers), because I have a very strong mental and physical addiction to opiates.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This medicine works wonders for daily anxiety and is better than using Xanax all day because it lasts much longer. I take Xanax when there is extra anxiety and the two work together perfectly.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on a variety of medicines that never seemed to help me with anxiety. I have been taking 2mg of Klonopin 3 times a day for almost a year, and they have calmed me down tremendously. I was always anxious about everything, from bills to jobs to family...you name it. This medicine along with journal writing has also helped manage my anger problems too. I've tried to wean myself off of it several times, but I usually end up anxious and frustrated all over again. I just have to accept that Klonopin is now a part of my life for longer than expected. Two thumbs up!

Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin has made me the woman I was prior to menopause. I am so very grateful. I could no longer stand the sleepless nights, horrific night and day sweats, constipation, anger attacks, anxiety attacks and bouts of depression. A friend told me about Klonopin. It works without causing any side effects. I pray it continues as I honestly wished to just not exist any longer. I am once again functioning daily, interacting with family and feeling normal/rested/happy each day.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have taken this medication daily for a few years. Right now I take 1mg daily. It doesn't give me that drugged up feeling, and at the same time seems to help improve my mood. Sometimes I take an extra one when I have severe PMS or increased anxiety - and it works great. It's a subtle calmness that slowly starts when I take it and lasts for a long time. I would suggest this medication to anyone with anxiety or mood disorder.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have suffered almost all my life (childhood to 52 years old) with anxiety, mood swings, rage, muscle aches, irritable bowel, teeth clenching, heart palpitations, etc, etc, etc. I have been called a hypochondriac. This is the first time I have taken this medicine and it has helped minimize or completely elevate my symptoms. I just wish I was given this earlier in my life. It would have saved me from a whole lot of suffering.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This pill this the best for most depression and anxiety. No side effects. Also non-habit forming for me.

Klonopin (clonazepam): Recently I was prescribed klonopin 1mg, not only for anxiety but to help alleviate my muscle cramps, which I think is caused by the Seroquel I take for mood stabilization and sleep. Klonopin works great. No more tremors, cramps or anxiety. It is very effective. It works better than any related drug.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I definitely noticed a difference since I stopped taking klonopin about two weeks ago now. I wanted to see if I could deal with life without being medicated. On the plus side it also took my migraines away and didn't make me edgy like other medicines I've been on. I took it with Wellbutrin. It took care of my depression and anxiety perfectly.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I think this drug works. Took the wafers after my boyfriend died and they helped me get through the day really well. I don't feel like this is nearly as strong as Xanax or Ativan and I function perfectly normally when taking it. I was prescribed 1 mg 3x/day and it was good, then was put on 0.5mg 3x and I don't notice it at all. I take Effexor also which helps with anxiety. Also, recovering heroin addict so this plus Suboxone helps a lot although doctor doesn't like to prescribe it because I have a history of serious addiction. Be wary, this is one of those drugs like Xanax where you can take a lot and think you are okay but everyone else can see that you are "off". Don't mix with narcotics.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I feel better since switching to Klonopin.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on Klonopin for a few years now, and it really does work great for anxiety, but there are some long term issues I don't think people realize. Being that it is a benzodiazepine, it is very difficult to come off. You must be weaned off slowly. I was on 10mg a day. To treat for severe anxiety, definitely does that.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on Klonopin for a few years now for anxiety/panic attack issues. Dosage = 1 mg 3 x day and as needed. It has been extremely effective without side effects like making me feel really tired. In fact, I don't really seem to notice any side effects.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on 1 mg 3 x daily for anxiety for approximately 1 year and 0.5mg 2 x daily for the last 6 years. It was a life saver during times of anxiety and stress during my divorce and recently during my discovery of bipolar illness. It works wonderfully for irritability with other drug reactions. Recently I was taken off the drug by my doctor because of habit forming controversy. Didn't think I was addicted because I took only on an as needed basis and did not follow directions precisely. Although I did experience severe irritation within 3 to 10 days of being off medication, I still feel for many people this medication is a necessity.

Klonopin (clonazepam): Good medication when used at the right dosage. Stronger than Xanax dose for dose, but has to be discussed with the doctor.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This medicine if taken as prescribed is very useful and has saved me from having a melt down plenty of times.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This has helped me with my anxiety. My depression is even better than when I took antidepressant medicines. I take them as prescribed as I do not want any dependency. So if you need a medicine for anxiety or panic this is a good choice.

clonazepam: Took me almost 20 years to get to the bottom of anxiety, panic, and obsessive unwanted thoughts. Finally in a 3 day uncontrollable stint of anxiety and panic with zero sleep and zero relaxation I went to my doctor, he gave me Klonopin to get it settled down. It was almost like heaven to feel like a normal human being again. I have always been a confident enthusiastic person but this sickness took me to the bottom. Thank God the medical community finally (after many visits to different doctors with no luck) told me that I have anxiety/panic syndrome. 0.5 milligrams as needed maybe once or twice a week. I would be a broken man without this answer.
