"I have metastatic adrenal cancer, and this calms me a great deal. I take 1 mg three times a day, and it's enough to keep me calm and not worry about death and leaving my husband and 3 kids, and I'm soon to be a grandma."

"I’m a 24-year-old male and suffer from severe muscle spasms, chronic pain, and anxiety (social, generalized, etc.). I’ve been on Klonopin (Clonazepam) for about a year for my muscle spasms and anxiety. It’s worked wonders for both, but the generic I liked got discontinued. So my doctor let me try the Oral Disintegrating Tablets/Wafers and, let me tell you, they work MUCH BETTER than the pill version! They kick in faster, absorb much better, and last just as long for me. I’m on 1 mg three times a day, and I won’t go back to the pill version! I couldn’t be happier."

"I used to have a heroin problem for years and years. I was prescribed 2 mg clonazepam 4x a day (that is 8 mg, guys). My husband at the time would steal them and my gabapentin I take for seizures. He and I split, and I knew I was going to have to go to jail for my past. I had a doctor taper me down and was taken to the hospital 3x while in jail for my seizures. I don't know if they were just my regular epilepsy, stress-induced, or from the benzo reduction. In jail, they detoxed me over 10 days with Ativan... it took weeks to feel 'normal.' Anyway, horrible experience, but I am clean and sober now. I take Keppra, Lamictal, and gabapentin for seizures. Gabapentin is also supposed to help with my anxiety. Celexa seems useless, but I take it... and I reintroduced clonazepam orally dissolving wafers, 1 mg up to 2x a day. Noticing a tolerance. Sometimes the 1 mg does nothing. I want to avoid the benzo hell... but I also don't want to live my life afraid to leave the house and having panic attacks."

"Panic attacks literally make you face your own death in the face. Until using Klonopin, I spent a lot of time and money in the ER. I have taken Xanax and Ativan in the past, but nothing has helped me so much as Klonopin. The wafers are great because they melt in your mouth and get into your system quickly. For me, they usually start having a positive, calming effect within 20 to 30 minutes."

"This has saved me. I only take as needed, but it has helped take the edge off while also feeling like myself. I only take .25, and it's just enough to keep my panic attack at bay when I feel one coming on."

"I have been on Clonazepam several times and stopped without withdrawal symptoms - I have agoraphobia and panic attacks. I take 0.25 mg as needed or once a day. I started twice a day, 0.25 mg. It helps me cope with my mom's passing away in 2021, it banned my panic attacks I have been having since I was 18 years old. I didn't know what they were until I visited a psychiatrist that prescribed Zoloft for my agoraphobia in 1996. I'm still taking it, much too long. Now my GP physician suggests I go up on my Zoloft and stop the Clonazepam. I started out on 25 mg Zoloft, now on 50 mg. I have OCD as well with agoraphobia and panic attacks. Clonazepam is the only drug that keeps me calm, relaxed, and not tense or grinding my teeth at night, all that goes away with Clonazepam Wafers. People give this drug a bad reputation, so many have abused it and caused them to become addicted, taking more than what they need. It's not the drug, it's how you take it, only take it as prescribed and with no other pain meds or alcohol. It is a good drug."

"I've had focal seizures, 1 petite maul seizure, but mainly panic attacks, agoraphobia, and general anxiety. I took Xanax for years, but switched to clonazepam, now ODT, and my muscles are more relaxed, anxiety isn't up and down, seems to work steadily all day. Xanax was for anxiety and you take it before you leave the house, or when you're having a panic attack, but now ODT is better, works faster than tablets, so I know if a panic attack is going to go away faster. That was why I liked Xanax, and I called them happy pills, but that wears off with me having malabsorption problems now, I like it much better. Never had 100% anxiety go away with any of them. But I'll take what I can get!"

"I have severe panic/agoraphobia and PTSD. I was taking Xanax, which was great, but short-acting, not for anxiety. My Dr. put me on regular clonazepam, I had horrible panic attacks, but was better than nothing. I got dissolvable clonazepam, and it works way better. I need to invent 1/2 Xanax and 1/2 clonazepam, I'll call it... clonazaxan! Works faster, because panic sneaks up on you!"

"I take the generic Sun Pharma Klonopin Wafers 1 mg twice a day. It completely changed my life and gave me a social life I could never achieve without it. I feel like benzodiazepines get a bad reputation these days because of the fear that society creates when simply talking about the drugs. Benzodiazepines are a great tool for those that do not abuse them. People need to open their minds and expand their thinking. Benzodiazepines are not deadly, addictive, or harmful. It’s the people that misuse them that give them the bad reputation. Be smart. Take only as prescribed. Don’t mix with alcohol or opiates. It’s that simple."
