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.

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.

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): 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): 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!

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!

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.

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): 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 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.

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!

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.

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!
