clonazepam: 3 years after being diagnosed with Bipolar 1, I was put on 2 mg of Rivotril to be taken at night following a car accident. When it was prescribed, I was in a poor state of mental health and was suffering from extreme agitation and horrible nightmares. After taking clonazepam for a while, I noticed that not only did it calm agitation, but it helped stabilize my mood. It has made my mood more consistent and improved it dramatically. I consistently feel calm, positive, and mentally stable. I've been prescribed other benzodiazepines in the past, but clonazepam has by far been the most effective. Overall, an excellent medication also considering that it isn't subject to metabolite accumulation.

Klonopin (clonazepam): When my dosage was increased from 100 mg to 200 mg what a remarkable change. I felt relaxed, less anxiety, with the combination of Seroquel, Cymbalta it was a lot easier dealing with the minor things in life.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This medication helped me sleep, but eventually it became ineffective as a sleep aid. It also helps me calm down when in severe stress, anxiety, or panic.

clonazepam: I'm Bipolar and suffer from panic attacks. I'm really impressed with how well clonazepam works. I take 0.5mg x 4 times daily. I do feel a sense of calm and evenness with this medication which is important with my Bipolar disorder. Highly recommended.

Klonopin Wafer (clonazepam): I use the regular Klonopin tablets 3x a day, but the wafers work great when I have a panic attack or I'm having a particularly hard time falling off to sleep.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This medicine made me worse. I became aggressive and violent. The only time I have ever seriously thought I was going to really hurt someone was while I was on this medicine. I unfortunately wasn't able to stay on this long enough to see whether this would have gotten better.

Klonopin (clonazepam): This is a great medicine. Unlike the other anti-anxiety medicines, this one works and you don't need to take it all the time. Try this one first.

Klonopin Wafer (clonazepam): This has been the best medicine I have ever got for my problems. Every other doctor just ignored my feelings until finally I found the right doctor who listened and put me on klonopin. That was the best day of my life. It was like I had found me again. Thanks Klonopin, you're my life saver.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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): 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.
