User Reviews for Clonazepam (Klonopin)

This drug works but loses effectiveness after awhile. However in general it eases anxiety without giving me that "high" feeling. It makes it so I'm able to function normally and it just takes the edge off. Nobody would look at me and think I'm doped up. So yes it works but its hard to manage the dosage because doctors hesitate to increase the dose of benzos, despite the fact that they really do create tolerance, and they are so helpful to people who don't abuse them, so I don't see why a dosage increase wouldn't be agreed upon.

Klonopin does work to sedate my anxiety but it causes severe drowsiness to the point where it can be incapacitation. This isn't helpful when I have my small children with me. Xanax works just as well but without the possibility of falling asleep on your feet.

I use this drug for severe restless legs and panicc attacks.

Works better than anything I have taken. Just dont leave home without them.

I've been using this since I was 22 and am almost 40 now - same dose as when I was 22--not once have i had to increase dosage. Stopped the panic feeling, which to me was a lifesaver in itself, never had any side effects. Just enjoy the fact i can feel so normal and no attacks since i started taking it. LOVE IT!!!!

I have experienced bouts of mania and fatigue. I am a fitness instructor and it causes weakness in the muslces and light headedness. I am withrawing off it now and that is also very tough! It was not worth all the side effects and withdrawal!

med sedated me made me very dizzy, hard to think. no new seizure!!!!!

I suffer from HepC and a major side effect of the virus is insomnia & depression obviously from sleep depravation. This drug is the only one to date ive found that finally allows me to sleep at least 6hrs. Without it i can go as long as 5 days with no sleep leading to bouts of suicidal feelings out of hopelessness & fatigue. Its two downsides are its not good for my liver & one gets used to it very quickly leading to a necessary increase to still sleep. There is no magical pill out there all have disadvantages.Read More Read Less

I like this medication it helps with my anxiety.

Has anyone had weight gain or weight loss on the med??? And what about hair loss???

Have done wonderful for me. After being for 2 years on differents medications for RLS and PLD I'm able to get better night sleep and less fatigue during the day. My daily dose is only 1/2 tablet at bedtime.

i can not get off this. i have been taking it for a year and half.and it is not working.

My Doctor prescribed this and It is HELL to get off of it. I ran out and called in for a refill. My MD will not refill it untill I see him for a simple "med check up" All I ever say is fine and he writes the RX. This time it is three weeks away and I am going through sever withdrawal symptoms. I have been on this drug for over five years and don't recommend it. STAY OFF OF IT. I think it should only be available for a very short term use.

This medicatiion has saved my life from misery with anexiety. What I am not sure of is does this medication cause high blood pressure while withdrawing from it? I need to ween myself off from this drug because it does not go well with sleep apena. If anyone know this answer please answer. Thanks.

This medication is terrible. I took it for one day. right before bed and the results were terrilble. I woke up and preceeded to throw-up and have the spins for several days. The dizziness that I had was enough to want to die. It is now 3 days later and the drug effects are still lingering. Worst reaction to any medicine that I have ever had. The doctors think that it caused me to develop vertigo.

This drug is highly addictive! Drs. hand it out like it's candy. It made my panic disorder worse because I became dependant on it. I'm now starting the withdrawal process which is worse that dealing with the panic disorder.

its good but not covered by my insurance.need similar drug

i want to know the side effects from taking klonopin with alcohol....
