Reviews for clonazepam systemic to treat Panic Disorder

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on 1MG of Klonopin, twice a day, for about six months now to help with panic attacks and anxiety. The drug has worked wonders for me. It seems to work within an hour after taking it. I feel like a whole new person now. There is no feeling of unnecessary anxiety like I felt before. Prior to taking this drug, I would get terrible anxiety for no apparent reason. I was at the point where I was avoiding people and when I did get the courage to go out in a social setting, it was a constant fight to just feel comfortable. Klonopin has literally destroyed those feelings. When I first started taking it, I tested it out by putting myself in various social settings. Not even a remote feeling of anxiety. Thank you Klonopin.

clonazepam: I have taken 0.5 mg Klonopin a day for about 8 months. It is great! It has helped
tremendously with my anxiety and panic. I also feel that I have developed
no tolerance to it either. Side effects were nonexistent
and I finally got a good nights sleep while on it.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I am diagnosed with acute anxiety, depression, panic attacks and post traumatic stress disorder. Klonopin is one of the medications I am on. I have noticed that it has helped keep my bad panic attacks down. It has helped to ease my mind and body. I still do get attacks, but not as frequently. This medication has helped me a lot and hopefully my medicines along with therapy I will someday be able to have a normal life. I try to remain hopeful.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I was on Xanax for several years (4-5 mg per day). It helped a lot in the beginning, but the longer I took it the more jittery I became. My doctor finally put me on Klonopin up to 3 mg a day and it has been amazing. I have only been taking 2 mg a day so far, but I'm sure I will probably need 3mg at some point. But I went directly from Xanax to Klonopin and I have never missed the Xanax. I was really afraid I would have a lot of withdrawal problems but I suppose the Klonopin took care of that. Anyway it has been amazing how much better I feel and sleep since changing to the Klonopin. It has changed my life. I'm so thankful my doctor tried it. I really didn't want to take anything but I don't think I have a choice. I need it to function normally.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I suffered from this Class IV Panic Disorder along with agrophobia since I was 15 for 17 years. I have the type of panic attacks where I get "OUT OF THE BODY" type panic attacks. I would never get in a left hand turn lane, or go anywhere I could not get out of quickly. When I researched online and talked with my doctor 1.5mg to 2mg of Klonopin has worked so well and effectively. Last year I was working for cable company, and had to climb poles 28' up and strap myself in. There is no way in the world, I could have done this without Klonopin! I do not know why these started at age 15, but I do know that I will take Klonopin for the rest of my life. I have NOT had any fear, agrophobia or 1 panic attack at all in 4 years.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I've taken Klonopin since 1994. For me I wouldn't take another. Valium short acting, may lead to additional doses. Xanax was not an option because it is to short acting and therefore has greatest potential for abuse. I have grown up in abuse (physical, sexual, emotional), visited psychiatrist 7 - 11 years, diagnosed with severe ADHD and learning disabilities, unrelenting social phobia, post traumatic - this is not an excuse but an explanation. Major event 30 July 1992 panic attack associated with personality death. Two years later it came down to a choice: life or death. Klonopin made all the difference. I was later diagnosed with a birth defect Dandy-walker malformation. Always anxious.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I got my first Panic Attack when I attempted to move away to college. That only lasted 3 months. The symptoms were so bad I was trembling in bed scared to death. I flew home and just left my belongings in my apartment. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and put on Paxil. The Paxil did help me but after being on it for 10 years and 30lbs heavier it stopped working and I was having Panic attacks all day. In and out of emergency rooms and such. My doctor finally put me on Klonopin because I was suicidal. I CAN NOW FUNCTION and I can drive in other peoples cars. I am free to go anywhere. It has saved my life. ONLY TAKE IT AS NEEDED, because of the addictive factor. But I have been on it for 3 years now.

Klonopin (clonazepam): Being a nurse I can assure I know about Panic! It started in 2002 as heart palpitations, I thought I was having a Heart Attack! After 4 Years of torture and antidepressants, my doctor finally put me on klonopin. I'm on 3mg a day! It has changed my life, only downfall is if I'm without it for 2 or more days all my symptoms of panic come back! But just glad I got my life back!

Klonopin (clonazepam): Works great for anxiety. I will take 0.5mg if I am feeling a panic attack brewing, for prevention. Full on panic attacks/anxiety I take 2mg and am fine within 20 minutes. Will take 1-2mg before confronting a trigger (i.e long car rides). I take them ONLY when I feel I NEED them.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I've been on Klonopin for about 7 years now and it pretty much blocks any panic attacks, except for a few minor breakthrough panic symptoms now and then. Grogginess seems to be the only side-effect.

clonazepam: I used to have panic attacks EVERY time a police officer would get behind me, even if there was nothing wrong with me or my car. It got to the point that every time it happened my heart would race, I would sweat and I got light headed. And ever since my doctor put me on clonazepam I can drive without felling like they were "coming to get me". I give it a 9.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been on it for about two months and it truly works for those panic attacks. Really good, and is not as addicting as Xanax! I would recommend for panic and anxiety.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have had severe panic attacks since high school. I can not be in or on anything that moves. I have been on 4mg Klonopin a day for almost a year and I still have 2-3 panic attacks a day plus it has made me extremely irritable, agitated, angry, aggressive and depressed. I have been on every benzodiazepine, tricyclic, SNRI's and most SSRI's, always in combination 2 or 3 at the same time. Some worked for a short time, some not at all. The best combination was Xanax, Zoloft and Imipramine for five years then it quit working. I've even tried cognitive behavioral therapy with no luck. The only thing I've not tried is Paxil and Prozac. I have a doctor's appointment next month to discuss other medicines. Maybe I need a new doctor.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I've tried, quite literally, every medication there is for panic disorder and Klonopin is the only one that works for me. After being confined to just two rooms in my house for a year (yes... I was scared to go into the other rooms), I'm now able to go outside and even drive up to twenty miles from my house without a "support person" (three years later). My first panic attack was while driving and I totaled a car, so this has been a MAJOR improvement for me. I am prescribed 2mgs three times daily but only take 500mcgs as needed, unless I'm having a rush of panic attacks and need to take it preemptively for a few days, because I don't want to develop a low level tolerance. It's given me my life back.

clonazepam: I am a 41 year old female. I started getting a lot of panic attacks back in March 07, to the point I was in ER. They ran tests and found out it was panic/anxiety disorder. So I started taking clonazepam 0.5 at first 2-3 times daily and slowly worked up to 2 mg 3 times a day. Then it was finally working correctly on me. I have been on 2 mg 3 times a day for a year and 2 years total on it and it does work but warning - if you are relaxing in a chair watching TV, etc., you will fall asleep for a couple hours if you're not careful. At times, it makes me a bit sleepy but that could be the anemia I have too.

Klonopin (clonazepam): It has helped me with the panic attacks. I fight with feelings of guilt because I want them to go away without taking drugs, and feel like I am a weak person.

clonazepam: I was 1st diagnosed with panic attacks 18 years ago and they were debilitating. I went to see the doctor and while I was there I had 2 attacks back to back. My doctor prescribed Klonopin 1mg 3 X day. The attacks stopped almost immediately. I titrated off them after approximately 4 years without any side effects. Then 10 years later they came back threefold when our son got into some serious legal problems at 14 years old, my Ex walked out on both of us and left me to deal with the legal battles and bills. I've now been taking them for 9 years with 60mg of Cymbalta just to function. It's truly a miracle drug. It helps me cope and attend interviews without falling apart.

clonazepam: I was always in E.R not knowing what was wrong with me until my last visit when they gave me Ativan. Once I took this drug I began to feel calm and finally discovered the problem. I was suffering from anxiety/panic attack for 5 months before I found out the truth. I went to my doctor and told him what happened and he recommended Klonopin so I agreed it has been over 4 months now and no more E.R visits. This drug is very effective and helps in times of need like when you start to feel an attack come on. I take one and in less than 20 minutes the symptoms are gone and I feel calm. Only thing about it though is that it can make you sleepy.

clonazepam: When I was 15 I started getting anxious all the time it got to the point where I was getting 2-3 panic attacks a day. So I went to the doctor he tried everything with no success. Finally we decided to try Klonopin (Clonazepam). I started on 0.5mg three times a day for a week then he increased to 3mg/day.
It completely took away my anxiety and panic attacks with no side effects and if I take 2mg at night it helps me sleep. I've been on it for 2 years with no increase in dose and no loss in efficacy. I highly recommend it when everything else fails to work.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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.

clonazepam: I use clonezapam 0.5mg 3 to 4 times daily. It helps with both panic and anxiety. I can still feel the panic coming on but it helps combat it with deep breathing techniques. I do feel dependent on it though but it is better than having the anxiety and panic. I would recommend it. It seems to stay in my system longer than the xanax. But like them equally.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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.

clonazepam: It has been a blessing. I tried several other medicines and they make me
sad, uneasy and very sleepy. I only take this when needed. At first it was daily and now maybe one a month. It has been great.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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!

clonazepam: Klonopin (Clonazepam) is incredible! It saved my life after I took Xanax (Alprazolam)! It was too short-acting. I take 4 - 1mg tablets a day for my Chronic MAJOR Panic Disorder. I also take 1 30mg Restoril (Temazepam) Capsule at bedtime. All of the benzodiazepines work well, but Clonazepam is the safest, most effective, and a real lifesaver! Antidepressants and Herbals did nothing. Clonazepam is "Oldschool", so it's tried and true! IT WORKS! Better than any other anti-anxiety drug! AMAZING!

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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!

clonazepam: This medication changed my life. My panic attacks were so out of control I was barely able to leave the house. Within 2 days, a moderate does of this changed me into a new person. That was 15 years ago. My dosage has never changed.

Klonopin (clonazepam): 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): 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): 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.
