| 5 | Anxiety/Depression | In the beginning very drowsey. Although it was a good thing to have the med. slow my brain down to relax. | Very satisfied with Klonopin. I take .5 mg in am and 1.0 mg in pm. Prefer this med over Xanax or Ativan. | F | 29 | 1 years | 7/28/2001 | 4 | Not sleeping, restless legs | I took the pill 0.5mg about 8:00 in the evening....slept great with no hangover! So far it's been great. | Really drowsy within an hour...which is great for me. Before I was never ready to go to bed | F | 50 | 7 days | 8/28/2001 | 5 | restless legs and trouble sleeping | i sleep great and do not feel so up tight all the time | M | 50 | 2 years | 9/25/2001 | 3 | anxiety and depression | Sleepiness, headache in the morning. | I took .5mg as needed for anxiety I had been warned about the addictive quality of this medication, so I was always very careful about when I took it. But this was a bad thing in the end, because there were a lot of times that I should have taken it, but was put off by the "advice" that other people gave me. Also, because it put me to sleep, when I was having bad anxiety I could then get to sleep - very good "side effect"! I can't say it really took the anxiety away though, hence the '3' rating. | F | 24 | 4 months | 9/29/2001 | 5 | waking up with racing heart | slight shortness of breath | It helps me too sleep at night without feeling groggy the next day. | F | 42 | 3 months | 11/5/2001 | 4 | Post Traumatic Stress & depression | Made me sleepy at first but I've seemed to have adjusted to it | As a 9/11 surviver and having a history of depression and panic attacks, Klonopin has helped with the high anxiety levels and mixed with Zoloft I have felt much better. I have very few, if any panic attacks now & when I do have an attack, it's much less severe | F | 28 | 4.5 months | 2/7/2002 | 4 | post herpetic neuralgia | slight sedation, slowed motor co-ordination, anorexia, nausea, headaches, depression, confusion and memory impairment, also LOL I swear I'm getting something like dyslexia, but I don't know the correct med term for that. I do take a high dose. | I'm hoping the side effects I'm experiencing will decrease with time. It's working wonders on my pain control. I take 1.5 mg every six hours (3X a day). Since my condition is lifelong my dr said I will be taking the Klonopin long term. I'm wondering about anyone else who has taken high doses long term. Do the side effects get better? | 34 | 5 weeks | 3/18/2002 | 4 | Panic Attacks | A little sleepy at first but has seemed to ware off after a week. | I take .25 at night and .25 in the morning. After the first week I don't feel as though I need to take the night time dose so I have started to taper down to .12 and will go to .06 in a few nights and so on. Good luck to everyone!!! | M | 28 | 10 days | 3/26/2002 | 5 | Anxiety | Drowsy, but not only did it help my anxiety, it eliminated my chronic headaches! I am very cautious of the addictive nature of this med, but there was NOTHING else that was non-addictive that was helping my anxiety/headaches. | This is a miracle drug. I think it is less addictive than Valium or Xanax. I take .5mg morning and .5mg at night. Maxalt is another new excellent drug for migrane headaches. | M | 46 | 2 years | 4/1/2002 | 4 | anxiety | none | Effective, but Highly addictive | M | 32 | 6 months | 4/5/2002 | 5 | Panic attacks/Anxiety/Agoraphobia | First started the Drug 11 yrs. ago, (NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL) Went off the drug for 8 1/2 yrs. Then back on about 1 1/2 yrs. ago...At first Groggy, Tired, Hangover feeling, went away about 2-3 weeks. | Klonopin SAVED my LIFE!!!! It got Me to Eat, (gain back 20 lbs. I lost), sleep, Get back to Normal...Above all it got Me to Get out of MY HOUSE.... I got MY LIFE BACK...... I take 1 pill every morning 0.5 mg. I also want to comment on the addictiveness on Klonopin.... Although they say it is Highly Addictive, I would have to say when I went off it 10 yrs. ago, I never had a problem, I just weened myself off slowly, no side effects, no problems at all........ | F | 41 | 18 months | 4/26/2002 | 1 | | 4/26/2002 | 4 | | 5/19/2002 | 1 | depression | makes a person dosil | This is a bad medicaton to stop taking. It take about four weeks to get out of your system. Bad withdrawers. | 7 years | 5/27/2002 | 1 | anxiety | Hair loss! Not good for a woman. | It's really easy to develop a tolerence to this drug and require more to get the same effect. | F | 40 | 2 years | 6/7/2002 | 4 | Fractured hip, herniated disks, | This med is VERY addictive, as bad or worse than opiods. I ran out one weekend and it was not pleasent at all. If you are on this med long term make sure you taper when quitting. Do NOT just quit taking it, or you WILL suffer! | M | 43 | 1 years | 8/19/2002 | 3 | to help me sleep | None that I am aware of as I only take 1/2 mg. every other night. | M | 59 | 1 years | 8/28/2002 | 5 | panic attacks | Sometimes tired | I have been taking between 2.5 to 3.0mg daily for the last ten years works great I also take Celexa 10 mg combo seems to work well for me | 45 | 10 years | 9/8/2002 | 3 | Anxiety | Drowsiness, sedation | Seems to really bring down anxiety | M | 33 | 10 days | 9/24/2002 | 4 | | 9/28/2002 |
