User Reviews for Clonazepam (Klonopin)

Klonopin is a great medication to "turn off my brain", and this helps reduce the likelihood of anxious overnights. However, it has to be taken early enough to prevent lingering effects the following morning. The drug also has helped reduce the panic associated with airplane flights.

I finally have peace without panic attacks! Thanks to Klonopin. I am prescribed .05 3 times daily. It does not make me sleepy until I lay down at night and then I sleep better than I ever have before. This medicine and 60mg of Cybalta has made me a different person. I finally look forward to getting out of bed and handling anything that is thrown my way; without the worry of panic attacks.

I use it to help me sleep it works very well.

Klonopin has been helpful to me in dealing with difficulties with my raging mental patient wife. She pushes, and pushes, and pushes.....

Has helped for my RLS in getting to sleep. Only take medication once at night.

Knocked me out for the first couple of days, but has since given me the calm nights of sleep that I've had in years.

Effectiveness: When it works, IT WORKS. However, It can make me a little bit nervous sometimes. Also, it sometimes makes my heart race...one time, I clocked my heart rate at about 110 beats per minute, and this doesn't help as I am constantly stressing out over my heart. But I doubt this will happen to you; I've got a very strange heart! Ease of Use: Yes, it's easy to use. All I do is pop the pill in my mouth and swallow...it's that easy. Satisfaction: It's got its pros and cons. Like they say: "you can't have your cake and eat it too."Read More Read Less

I HAVE BEEN OFF THIS MED FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND I WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE!!!! NOW THAT I GOT IT BACK-I AM SLOWLY STARTING TO DO ALOT BETTER. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS. BUT NOT AS MANY ATTACKS LATELY!!! B.M.O

It has worked very effectively for long term treatment

I have General Anxiety Disorder and did have a social phobia. After using Xanax for a number of years I became tolerant. I was switched to Klonopin and have been on the same six mgs a day (three 2mg doses a day) for ten years or so. It still works as well as the day I first took it. It does not give be the "out-of-it" feel I disliked about Xanax. I am extremely satisfied with its results.

As A Vietnam Vet with PTSD, this was the only drug that controlled my out of control panic attacks. I have been on it since 1990 and without it I probably would be dead.

not quit effectift

Its the ONLY medication that has worked for my PTSD

withdrawal from 2mg after several months was nearly impossible...this drug is toxic and led to severe neurological conditions...take only for a few weeks--no more!

I'm using this medication to help with controlling my panic attacks from an armed robbery experience a couple of years ago. Also, I have bipolar type II and depression. so I take various other medication as well.

I had PD and PTSD since 1985. Started on Xanax, then Klonopin. I actually became able to function, but addicted, very addicted on 4mg of Klonopin. I don't regret it. It saved my life. Now on .05mg QD I went to rehab, but was able to ween myself off. Please be careful. I trusted my doctor, and I needed to do more like exercise, walking,swimming... After 20 years of severe anxiety (the kind you feel after the panic attacks are under control and you no longer wake from sleep in a complete teror that something is coming to get you), just anxiety that you have no idea why you have it---that kind, it was time for me to begin to have faith in myself with the help of a little meds. I had to begin to ween myself off. BUT it is great while you need it.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this drug in conjunction with an SSRI. I've found it to produce an overall calming effect and successful in reducing my anxiety and irritability.
