I will never understand how benzos work so well with preventing a seizure or calming my aura (shaking). It prevents the oncoming seizure, brings me safety…and that’s exactly what I need. Stress and anxiety are some of my main triggers. A small dose of this medication makes me feel normal again.

I have anxiety due to circumstances and heredity. I am supposed to take this drug twice a day. I did for a while, but as I'm getting better, I only take it once a day and it is still effective. It doesn't make me drowsy or dizzy.

Have been using it over 10yrs. I was always nervous and worried about EVERYTHING. I only take one in AM. When I worked, I would sometimes take one at 3PM. Now I only take another pill if I feel anxious. It really works for me. Takes the edge off things.

It took the edge off my anxiety, but did not work as well as clonazepam or diazepam have. I no longer take any benzos, but am taking gabapentin, which is not as problematic.

Clorazepate was prescribed to me after having frequent anxioty attacks and not sleeping well at night. I take one in the morning and one before bedtime. It removes the uncomfortable symptoms without putting my head in a fog or any noticable other symptoms. I do wish, though, that it would help with temors in my hands when I'm nervous. Doesn't really help that much.

I have been taking cloraz-dipot (3.75mg)tabs since the '70s. I began taking it because the daily trek to work in the morning used to make me practically psychotic. I am now retired but still continue to take it for a general feeling of well-being!

I take this drug for severe vertigo. I take it two times a day and don't have the violent spinning episodes that I used to have. I have been on it for over a year and could not function without it. Recently, I went to one pill a day and within 5 days, I was back to being dizzy. I must stay on this medication in order to function as a normal human being. Without it, I have violent spinning, nausea, hearing loss, and can't walk. It has made a major difference in my life!!

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.
