User Reviews for Clonazepam (Klonopin)

it makes me sleepy

I have severe panic disorder associated with post traumatic stress disorder. I've taken several drugs to treat the panic but Klonopin is the only effective drug I have found. I do take a larger dose than most people do but it works for me to control the panic and helps with sleeping.

works well for my anxiety, but it seems I can feel it when its time to take another dose.

Taking 2mg per day for anxiety ..... has worked wonders.

My 22 year old developmentally delayed daughter started with .5 mg. twice a day along with the Luvox and Abilify she has been taking to treat her anxiety and aggressive behaviors. Almost right away she seemed very drugged and kept falling asleep. She was dizzy and began drooling. Needless to say we discontinued it and need to find something else which we hope will work.

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

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.
