User Reviews for Clonazepam (Klonopin)

It allows me to sleep. A condition I have suffered frm almost all my adult life (inability to sleep_ It agrees with me. No side effects.

This is taken with baclofen for symptoms of both closed head trauma and MS and covers absence seizures as well. Due to drug sensitivities and a cardiac condition so I must take only half the Rx dosage of both resulting in periodic break through. However, it has been very effective in the muscle seizures reducing them to spasms and some contractures and VERY effective in the emotion regulation of the MS and absence seizures.

I went on this med after being on Xanax for years. After 6 doses of 1 mg, three times a day, I had such bad heart palpitations, my body felt like it was on fire, I was scared silly, and when I called my doc the next day, he told me to stay on it, yeah, he did not have to go thru the scariness I went thru, so I have cut the pill in half, if he insists that I stay on it, I will just try and work it out my own way, being he thinks I need this type med, that makes me more afraid to take it then the thought of a panic attack, my chest still hurts from the pounding it took the other night, I like my Xanax, but know I was too use to it. But sure would like a pill I am not afraid of, why don't docs give Valium anymore? Glad you others like it so much, you are so lucky, wish I could be in your shoes. Good luck all...Read More Read Less

I can't sleep well without it. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. I had to go off of it for a few weeks in order to take an allergy test, not taking it didn't increase my anxiety, I just couldn't sleep through the night. Back on it I can sleep through the night again

It worked for the panic attacks for a few months; I am trying to get off it and am having terrible side effects including: cannot stay asleep for more than two hours, vomiting, shaking, memory loss. I just want to feel normal again.

After being told I had a Genernal Anxiety and Panic Disorder I was put on Klonopin .50mg. And it works wonders. It has totally made my way of life better and I don't know what I would have done with out it. One of the most effective medications I have ever taken.

I have done well with this treatment.My panic attacks are not as bad as they were and when i start one is subsides quickly.I also suffer from depression and it has kept me in a better mood.

I have a movement disorder i inherited from my dad and noone has been to determine what the condition is even to this day. I had a doctor put me on this medication and it has made my movements a lot less. I went 2 weeks without this medication recently and found out that this medication truely works because my movements were worse than before and it made my uscles sore and tensed up all the time. I am on a daily dose of 1 mg twice a day and I have had my friedns and family agrees that it works. The frist cpl of weeks made me really groggy when I took this medicine but I am back to normal now.Read More Read Less

It has been one in which can relieve the effects of my condition while allowing me some relaxation from immediate sz activity

Before starting on this drug I had aniexty attacks daily. I was taking .5mg 3 times daily to help with aniexty around mealtimes. (I suffer from an eating disorder.) I got of the drug and recently statred having aniexty attacks again. Now I only take .5mg when that panicy feeling starts and I'm good to go!

This drug will have some side effects at the start but they will go away in about 2 weeks of regular use. This combined with effexor xr have dramatically reduced my number of anxiety attacks. I went from just about not being able to leave my house to driving by myself to Mexico to meet an old friend. I was on Xanax before and Xanax simply does not work in the long term you become to addicted and it is out of your system within 4 hours.

I am at ease knowing I having Klonopin around. That in its self gives me relief in not having an anxiety attacks. I still get them but not as often as I use to.

This is my third drug, first on Effexor, then Prozac, then Celexa, and now this. Panic attacks are mild to not at all. None of the side affects of the other drugs except some mild stomach ills and lack of energy. Started walking every day to get some of it back and so far so good. FYI the first three made my condition worse. LOL as you can tell I chatty on this.

I was wondering of klonopin causes breast cancer?

This drug has helped me with my seizure control. But because it's a benzo I have a hard time getting it for my seizure disorder because of the DEA

I feel it has made me more dependent on it because of the side effects for when I'm late taking it it will weaken me like kryptonite to superman

I was on this for restless leg syndrome & then the dr. told me to take it every night. Then he increased it to 2 pills a night. 0.5mg. I went off it. It worked for the RLS but it left me groggy in the a.m. & I hated being on something habit forming.
