| 5 | (See below) | (See below) | (Added to my post right below this one.) I agree with a few others - K-pin does cause visual disturbance; it seems as though both eyes don't work together at times, but the sensation doesn't seem to last for a long time. | F | 15 years | 12/6/2006 | 5 | bipolar II | None | Works great! | F | 3 days | 2/11/2006 | 5 | restless legs | | 1/5/2007 | 5 | | 10/6/2007 | 5 | anxiety | has done it's job | 2 days | 10/28/2002 | 5 | sleep/anxiety | It will ruin your life.... You will get addicted right away | To the person who has been taking it for 3 days and is taking 2 mg.. PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!! RIGHT AWAY.. before it is too late. I became addicted only taking .5 MG for 2 weeks. It took me 1 month to get off. Some people can never get off. They stay up for 2 weeks. THis will ruin your life.. Trust me...what these people say about this evil drug is true... | M | 30 days | 2/18/2008 | 5 | panic | mild moodyness, mild lethargy. overcome easily with a regular workout regime | took for 1mg bid for 14 years, then stopped for 2 years. withraw almost killed me, had seizures. Back on it now after being med free for 2 years decided my life is much better on the meds. my panic attacks are very extreme though so i will probably be taking this for life, or until more research is done on the cause of the attacks. | M | 16 years | 4/16/2008 | 5 | ANXIETY | Nothing but positive things to see. This really calmed me down and helped me sleep. | F | 7 days | 2/24/2009 | 5 | panic attacks | I never had any side effects. | It definately stopped the panic attacks. | F | 15 years | 3/24/2009 | 5 | GAD/Sleep/Panic Disorder | Really good, definitely takes the edge off. No tolerance after 6 months of once-weekly use. Really a lifesaver when needed, highly recommended. | Only the Teva brand pill works for me. Tried others (Mylan, Actavis, Teva Orally disintegrating) to no avail. Taking two 0.5mg is more effective than one 1mg pill. Always take on an empty stomach, 30-90 minutes to start working. Sometimes it hits hard, sometimes just enough to relax the muscles. Definitely a safe benzo if used responsibly, if your doctor refuses to prescribe (especially without a history of drug addiction) then find a new doctor! | 6 months 1mg 1X AN | 1/24/2015 | 5 | Anxiety/PTSD | .5 mg makes me very out of it, lethargic, sometimes very depressed after taking it | I only take Klonopin PRN. I take .5 mg if I am really panicked. I can go a few days between doses sometimes. Don't always need it. I am very well aware of the addiction potential. I usually take .25 when I am anxious. Sometimes, I take half of the .25 just to ease the edginess and so I can function. Overall, wonderful drug for me. | F | 4 years .5 mg | 5/28/2015 | 5 | Panic attacks | I became physically addicted to low--dose (.5mg) Klonopin after about a year of use - and I couldn't care less. | I am physically addicted to Klonopin and I couldn't care less. I mean, if I had diabetes I would need an insulin shot to function and I see no difference. I am allergic to SSRI's and Marijuana induces panic attacks for me so I have no alternative. I take a small dose - .5 Mg - and have never had to increase it to get the therapeutic benefit I need. My panic attacks were so severe I was close to suicide. After suffering for 20 years I was ready to give up when a British psychiatrist new to the US scoffed at my symptoms and He said there is no reason to suffer like I was suffering and took me off anti-depressent (prozac at the time) and prescribed the .5 Klonopin. That man saved my life. Now, I have never even thought to abuse Klonopin as for me it is simply medicine. Same with Oxycodone after 3 surgery's. It's medicine and you take it as directed and stop taking it when you don't need it. For people like me the benefits far, far outweigh any risk. The bottom line is that my panic attacks were so severe as to be dibilitating and this drug save me when I was 43 years old. I'm 65 now and still working a high-tech job effectively enough to receive accolades for my work as well as great performance reviews that result in bonuses and pay raises. I think there are many, many people like me who use a low dose, don't abuse it, and reap great benefit from anxiety relief. Tell me it will give me Alzheimers in 10 years and I'll tell you it's been more than worth it for me. | M | 25 years .5 1X day | 6/18/2016 | 4 | | 10/12/2007 | 4 | | 9/28/2002 | 4 | | 5/19/2002 | 4 | | 1/5/2005 | 4 | | 1/17/2005 | 4 | | 1/17/2005 | 4 | M | | 1/20/2005 | 4 | anxiety | none | i am in the process of switching from xanax to klonopin. so far i am at 1 mg klonopin in the morning and .5 mg xanax at night and i notice that i am much more social while on the klonopin than i have ever been before. I have had no panic attacks since starting it i can't wait to see if it still works this well after i am totally off of xanax. xanax works great but it wears off so damn fast that i need to take it every three hours or i start to panic. | M | 2 weeks | 4/17/2007 |
