For Epilepsy "Our toddler, age 3, was recently put on Clobazam for pediatric seizures. It turned our sweet little girl into an angry ball of fury and mean behavior. My husband and I are horrified by how it affects her. We give it at night because it drugs her up so much. Initially, it causes hyperactivity and restlessness, then, 2 hours later, she's a zombie. I do not recommend this for toddlers or children."

For Epilepsy "Slept the first two weeks and didn’t know if I could get through it. Two weeks passed, and it’s the only medication that’s been able to effectively manage my nighttime myoclonic and partial focal seizures. I take it along with Lamictal ER, and it’s truly been a game-changer. However, I do experience more brain fogginess and some weird peripheral vision or spatial perception issues randomly. I have zero ideas why it’s classified as a benzo, as it has absolutely no anti-anxiety or tranquil effects, well, not for me at least."

Clobazam "I was prescribed Onfi after a grand mal and a series of clonic-tonic seizures, where I ended up hospitalized. I woke up feeling very loopy and euphoric. I was given a 10 mg dose once per day, and my seizures stopped. However, once I was released, I realized my mood was unmanageable. I was crying and laughing uncontrollably. I could not get a handle on my emotions from one minute to the next. I had to stop taking it immediately! I switched to another medication, and the side effects completely left."
