User Reviews for clonazepam oral

I wrote a 2000 word review of my experience of taking clonazapam and filled everything out and push submit and you took it all away and you wrote Error?? It took me 2 hrs. To get it down to 2000 words?? What happened to it?

I feel mad about the unknown damage this drug has done to me. I want to stop it but afraid of the withdrawal or having a panic attack. have been on this for twenty years.

I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks. After my first 1/2 dose of clonazepam I stopped having panic attacks. I have been on this medication for over 10 years at .5mg. Recently I was told there is a risk of cognitive impairment with long term use and the doctor wanted me to wean off and take something else. I won't do it because for me this medication saved my life.

anxiety/panic attacks, was wondering if clonazepam or xanax would be the better drug for me to be taking???

I've been using this medication for 20 years. It still helps me a lot. There hasn't been a need for an increase in dosage.

I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks most of my adult life and it will make you feel like you are dying. I also suffer from PTSD which leaves me with racing thoughts at night time and worrying about my Family dying and my demise. I couldn't function at time's without the Clonazepam.

Listen to the other reviewers. This is the worst drug to come off of and doctors will not agree on the effects that your body is putting you in withdrawal. This leaves the patient to advocate for himself. This is a BAD DRUG. It should be taken off the market.

effective in reducing or stopping convulsions and general calming of nervousness associated with convulsions

I have a severe case of constant anxiety where I would describe it as like water forcing against a dam wall and not releasing and the pressure just stays and builds up forever without breaking. Ok so when I take my Klonopin it allows this water to break out of the dam wall and release about half of it. Klonopin is a great med to take but it's better to possibly not take it daily as you will build a tolerance to it and even have bad, odd side effects. As you take it daily the med will continue to build up in your system, build and build until the concentrations are way too high. So I've discovered it's better to take 2 or 3 days off from time to time in order to get the drug out of your system a bit and then let your system reboot, and then when you take your next done it will feel much better and help your restless anxiety much better than consistently taking every day. Nice to get that reboot from time to time, trust me. When using it responsibly at your lowest effective dose, whatever that may be, depending on you, it should really help zap your restless, anxious racing mind and intense anxiety! Like I stated above, it'll let that dam break its wall a little bit and release and relieve the pressure in the mind and even body and the worst of the dreadful anxiety. Be aware this is a very addictive drug, therefore you must really have a need for it like intense, uncontrollable anxiety, racing, agitated mind etc. If so, it'll help you but make sure to let your system clean out and reboot from time to time for a couple of days and it'll work the best like that. For me this is the best way, for you it may or may not but if you're dealing with a long period of intense, non stop anxiounsness and restlessness caused by mental issues etc, I'd give this a good try! I personally like the generic Mylan brand, other's have better luck with a different clonazepam such as Teva etc. My 2 cents. Talk to your doctor 1st of course as I certainly am no medical professional.Read More Read Less

I have taken a lot stronger doses of other medications, but with just 0.50MG of Clonazepam 5 times per day, I have hardly noticed my seizures. They have become almost un-noticeable. I am very happy with them.

I have been taking it to long. It has stopped working. 3 mg a day.

Best med for my PTSD. Reduced it to 2 (.5 mg) instead of 3 due to no major stress at this time. Take it preventatively, if I don't I get way too anxious. Hate being treated like a drug addict by the govt. and hence prescribing doctor. No other health issues, ideal weight etc. Can't do vigorous exercise due to back injury from fall down stairs.

After taking Xanax for years for anxiety I began having panic attacks even while I slept. My dreams were very troubling and I awoke stressed and fearful. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks in a mental health facility and the attending Psychiatrist substituted Xanax for Clonazepam. I take (2) 0.5 mg tablets at bedtime and (1) 0.5 tablet in the morning. It has totally eliminated my panic attacks and I feel much better generally. In addition I was put on Omega 3 Fish Oil softgels that I take (2) daily in the morning and at bedtime. In my case, this medication has changed by life for the better and I feel normal once again.Read More Read Less

Been taking this for about 3 months off n on I don't. Need it everyday but some days I will take 1 0.5 and I'm good. I don't need more than the 0.5 dosage Really calms me down from my shaking n mind racing

I had a depression more than 5 years ago and had panic attack. I started using 2 mg until I was able to decrease it to .25 mg. I tried to withdraw with the drug because of the symptoms on jumping feeling in my bed and drowsiness. I still feel pressure on my head after I stop and recently just 3 days ago I felt missing heart beat and feeling a mild anxiety. Just few hours ago, I took a .25 mg dose because I can't stand the feeling when I have missing heart bit more often. Now, I am feeling better that the missing heart beat have lessen. I am trying to avoid Atrial Fibrillation, which I had more than 5 years ago.Read More Read Less

Works like a charm to calm me down, but never go driving after taking one of these. I learned that the hard way after passing out at the wheel.

I am on a very low dose of this medication (1mg)and take it once a day. I have no bad side effects from this med and have benefited a great deal. Panic attacks are so scary and I always felt that I was going to die. The pills have stopped all of that.

It seemed to work for me for a couple of years, weened myself off of it as I am trying to go natural. The effects since I am off it are worse than the effects on it. I get short of breath very quickly, and get weakness as well...makes it difficult in the winter to clear snow etc.

While this does work. It is a benzo. Go to benzobuddies.org . DO NOT TAKE THIS BEFORE doing research
