User Reviews for clonazepam oral

I first started using after one day, I was sitting at my desk, had a severe head rush, became flush, my heart started palpitating out of control, thought I was having a heart attack. I unfortunately drove my self to the hospital to get checked out, once everything checked out, the doctor though he would try this for what he considered a panic attack. I thought it was the two pots of coffee I was drinking each day, no breakfast and no lunch for years. I primarily used for what I considered heart palpitations and to much coffee, helped a lot during stressful moments, meetings, public speaking, calming the nerves during stressful situations was the main effect. Not sure, after taking for three years, went from one, then two and then to three tablets a day 0.5mg, two first off in the morning prior to work, one on the way home, prior to meeting the family and kids. Seems to work well is all stressful situations.Read More Read Less

I have been diagnosed with RLS, and find this helps my legs be more relaxed so I can rest at night.

A psychiatrist prescribed this medicine to me in 1997 to combat severe anxiety and it worked very well for me. What many doctors won't tell you is that it is excruciating to get off of. I was weaned off the medicine this past fall and it was the worst experience of my life. After being on the med for 10 years, my body loved it and screamed for it when it was no longer available. I withstood feelings of suicide, a constant "out-of-body" sensation, lethargy, dehydration and rapid weight loss. The withdrawal was so severe, I ended up in the hospital because of the dehydration and lack of appetite. I'm now 45 days off the medicine and finally feeling strong for the first time in a long time. I finally feel like I've kicked the drug and I wouldn't go back on it for any amount of money. This was the most difficult experience in my 51 years of life.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed clonazepam due to problems falling asleep and staying asleep. I had tried everything, different dosages of Ambien, Sonata, Lunesta, etc. The only thing that worked but had the slight/temporary loss of memory was Ambien CR. This helped, but the Doctor prescribed Clonazepam. I take a 1mg dose and works wonders for me.

I felt like a different person on this med. and it wasn't in a good way. I was also taking Ambien at the same time so it could also have someting to do with that. My memory was horrible and I had mood swings. The worst part was that I was in a cloud and didn't realize it. Someone else had to talk to me about it.

Getting a good nights sleep. I used to wake up a few times a night and have trouble falling back asleep. I take 1mg before bed and I sleep all night. Xanax does not last as long and Ambien gave me irregular heartbeats.

This works very well for me.

Works well. Sometimes too well. It relaxes me almost too much sometimes, leaving me unable to feel. No, not unable to feel, but unable to express those feelings.

i am currently taking this for two conditions: insomnia and PMDD. Works very well for me for both. I am on a small maintenance dosage.

its instantly calms my mania but it sucks when it starts to wear off.

I was taking Xanax .5 mg for 5 years, Clonazepam was given and I no longer felt the need for Xanax. I beleive it is a good drug to get you off Xanax. The anxiety is at the same level, moderate with this med.verses Xanax. I have had times though when a panic attack happened while on this med. so it doesn't stop panic attacks all together; but it does help. I know withdrawl from Xanax would have been hell without Clonapin. I hope that one day I can get off of Clonapin, but the fear of withdrawl does bother me. Read More Read Less

Prescribed to me for relaxation & to sleep.

Very effective treatment for Panic disorder.

Prescribed for restless leg syndrome. Side effects including fatigue, muscle pain and some diziness. Symptoms increased with use. Stopped taking after 45 days because of symptoms and reduced effectiveness.

If I take the Klonopin early enough (if I have an aura a few minutes before the seizure would be starting) it stops the seizure. It is a great medication. I always wanted something like this. Something I could take when I felt a seizure approaching.
