For Anxiety "Worst drug I have ever taken for anxiety. I took it as prescribed, and it actually caused me to have episodes of crying and anxiety. Well, that's wonderful-a drug that made me worse. Stay away from this, it could ruin your life if you get addicted."

For Anxiety "I am coming off of this med, and it's freaking horrible. Number one: I said it did not work and was making my anxiety worse. My doc kept me on it, 2 mg a day plus 20 mg Lexapro. Never again. I have to say it is rubbish because you can't just stop. Going to a new therapist today. Thank God. Stay away from this pill."

For Panic Disorder "I took Klonopin for the first time because I had a panic attack while driving on the highway. My emergency room physician prescribed me 0.5 mg prn as needed. I read some of the reviews before I took the medication. There were more negative comments than positive. So I broke the pill in half and took 0.25 mg because I didn’t know how the medication would make me feel. After I took the medication, 30 minutes later, I began to feel a warm sensation through my body. I started shaking, I was nauseated for 7 hours. Then throughout the day, I felt sedated for 2 days. During this time, I was at work and couldn’t function like I wanted to, so I had to leave my job because I didn’t feel safe at work and I couldn’t stay awake. This medication didn’t work until 8 hours later, I felt normal, back to the old me. After I took that one dose, I started having withdrawal symptoms and anxiety. I felt horrible. Please stay away from this drug."

For Anxiety "I took Klonopin for ten years. Worked great for a few years, but I developed a tolerance, and over time, I developed worse anxiety and panic while on a steady dose."
