User Reviews for clorazepate dipotassium oral

I am 65, was diagnosed with Agoraphobia in the 70s, and not much was known about Anxiety Attacks. I suffered with it, AND IBS,and was house bound for a time.Finally a doctor understood in 2007, and prescribed Clorazapate. We worked with adjusting the dose, and now I take 2 a day of 3.75. I can take an extra for stressful social events. I love it and to me it is a miracle! I feel "normal" for the first time in years.

not sure if this help for what is suppose to pain in back of nerve

I have epilepsy as a result of an arterio venous malformation that ruprured at age 19 (I'm now 44) and have taken this med ever since for what has been described as 'breakthrough seizures' or panic attacks. I've also been on a host of other meds as primary seizure control AED's (Anti Epileptic Drugs) and have found this to be extremely effective in easing the flushing, sweating, nervous, anxiety, dizziness that occasionally 'breaks through'. Deep breathing and controlled mental discipline along with a walk around the block frequently also help me overcome these 'episodes'. Basically, the key is to realize that they will go away - once you convince yourself of that: take the pill ( I take 3.75mg at 240lb male) and try to get my mind on anything else and within an hour they're gone.

I have taken this on and off since 2000. I never just stop taking it I go off it slowly & start it again as needed usually after consulting my MD. To avoid the side affects I take it at bed time and sleep through them.

Not a daily user. Just use when I feel an anxiety attack coming on. Makes me feel relaxed. But if I've taken it for a few days, I start to feel a little dizzy-especially at night.

I haven't been on this medication too long, but the time I have been it has worked pretty well.... BUT I am VERY afraid of becoming addicted to it after reading some of the comments left on it. And also I was sun sensitivity as a sun side effect, but ever since I have been on it I burn like crazy and I use to react so well to the sun. I am wondering if the medication is right for me.

I took this medication the first time after my first back surgery, as a muscle relaxer. I soon realized it worked pretty well on my fibromyalgia symtoms, plus anxiety. I've been taking it 3 years and I am afraid it is becoming a little less effective, but I have not found one better for tight, painful muscles, plus the added bonus I stay more relaxed, thus, less anxiety.

not been on it lng but it makes me feel drugged

IV BEEN ON CLORAZEPATE 15MG SENCE NOVEMBER 30TH AND I STILL HAVE ANXIE BAD ITS 1 TABLET TWICE A DAY I WAS ON KLOPIEN FOR 13YEARS IT JUST STOP WORKING I WOULD NEVER TELL ANY ONE TO GET ON IT IV BEEN HAVEING WITH DRAW FROM IT BAD AND I THINK I STILL DO ..DOES ANY ONE NO WHAT MED IS THE BEST FOR ANXIOUS...

CAUTION - THIS MEDICATION IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. After being on this medication for 6 years. I am horrified of running out of the medication. If I am even 2 to 3 hours late I slowly begin to have anxiety attacks and slight hallucinations. If you take this drug or any benzodiazapine -TRY not to take it long term. Biggest mistake of my life. I had a much easier time coming off heroin and morphine. My doctor said it may take 2 years to come off this med.

I have never felt so relaxed, and actually able to function in my whole life!!!!!!! After taking it, I am not afraid or peranoid that everyone is looking at me.

This medication was given to me in a time for me that was very hard for me to deal with. It helped me relax without that messed up feeling. I really like this medication.
