| 1 | Anxiety | Interdose withdrawal ruined my life bedridden 2 years post med recovering from changes med made in my brain due to long term therapy dr prescribed accidental addict | F | 46 | 3 years 3mg 3X day | 4/8/2013 | 1 | severe insomnia | Sleep at the beginning, but then insomnia, sleepiness, fatigue, digestive problems, depression, loss of memory, loss of body coordination. And a severe withdrawal syndrome during tapering off and after taking the last pill. | F | 35 | 2 years 1mg 1X day | 4/8/2013 | 1 | GAD | Insomnia, digestive difficulties, acid reflux, worsened anxiety, inability to get off it, sensitivity to stress...taken as prescribed always. | M | 58 | 10 years 1.5 mg | 4/8/2013 | 3 | chronic migraines and fibromyalgia | Slight headache about two hours before I am due to take dosage but my thinking seems to be clearer and I'm expressing my thoughts better! | I don't want to become addicted to this medication but also I found after 4-5 weeks, I started experiencing more migraines again so for the past 2-3 weeks, I have been taking .25. I'm not getting as many migraines now, but not sleeping like I initially was when I first started taking it and so consequently, I have been feeling more achey (fibromyalgia). | F | 62 | 10 weeks .5 & .25 1X day | 3/26/2013 | 5 | Nerve pain | Slight drowsiness at first but it wears off | This is the only drug that has helped my nerve pain after a botched surgery. However, because of all the horror stories about addiction, I only take a low dosage occasionally (once or twice per week) even though my neurologist prescribed it for daily use. If not for the dependency issue, this drug would be a miracle for me. | F | 60 | 5 times .5mg 1X day | 3/25/2013 | 5 | Insomnia | After 20 years of on off insomnia it has been a miracle for me to sleep! My mind is shaper than ever! Lack of sleep can cause more memory problems than klonopin ever could! | F | 52 | 4 weeks 1.25 mg | 3/11/2013 | 1 | anxiety | every side effect mentioned | what I have not read too much about is the severe mouth sores and dry mouth which is unbearable, have tried to taper off myself several times and fall back. i would not recommend this poison to anyone. Has anyone else had mouth issues ??????? | F | 59 | 3 years 1 mg 2X day | 1/27/2013 | 1 | anxiety | too many to list | Do not take this drug for more than a week or two. If you do, beware of and be sure to research "tolerance withdrawal" and Klonopin withdrawal symptoms, in general, during the tapering off of Klonopin process. Please read this article and the link within it, to the must read, Ashton Manual. http://www.hearinglosshelp.com/articles/benzodiazepines.htm I've been off Klonopin for seven months and I'm still not feeling well. Mostly extreme fatigue, but also many of the ailments described in both the attached article and the Ashton Manual. | M | 62 | 6 years 1 MG 1X day | 1/16/2013 | 5 | panic | This drug saves me from my worst panic attacks. It helps me sleep and helps my chronic pain 9 herniated disks. Take as prescribed! | Klonopin can be dangerous in the wrong hands. It has saved my life. I use it responsibly and when I have a panic it helps within 5 min. Again...USE RESPONSIBLY | F | 45 | 6 years 1mg 1X day | 1/13/2013 | 1 | Anxiety, no sleep, depression | Reviews before when I was taking .5 got into some more stress & doc said I can take at night if I have trouble sleeping. First night, awesome sleep. Next mornings, not so much. Killer headaches, killer chest pains. And to top it off, it feel even more overwhelmed with anxiety and slight depression. I want to cry cry and more cry... As I try to keep myself from vomiting. Caused severe nausea. Don't recommend and will stop taking | F | 28 | 4 days 10 | 1/9/2013 | 1 | PanicD & A CRIMINALLY NEGLEGENT DR. | DO NOT TAKE *ANY* BENZO **EVER** I suffered a dozen -/+ panic attacks daily & self medicated ALMOST to death w/alcohol. A yr after getting sober panic attacks became severe again; doc put me on this KNOWING I HAVE ALCOHOLISM. NO informed consent, no tests..just 20 min. consultation & assured they were safe, could quit anytime or stay on for life- no big deal. W/in 3 yrs he had me on 14 mgs a day THEN after 15 yrs he insisted I quit- coz he got into trouble for over-prescribing pain meds. I HAVE HAD MY LIFE DESTROYED BY THIS MED & HAD HE ONLY PRESCRIBED ONE MG. FOR A MONTH *STILL* = DESTROYED CNS & LIFE. . PLZ VISIT BENZO.UK.ORG & SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE INEVITABLE DESTRUCTION KLONOPIN WILL DO. | F | 40 | 10 years 14 mgs | 1/5/2013 | 4 | GAD | None | I see people here taking 4 mg for sleep. 4 mg is equal to 80 mg Valium which would knock out a horse. Get by on the absolute lowest dose that takes care of your symptoms. benzo.org.uk has strategies to taper if/when needed. Many people can taper with few problems. But many go through a living hell to get off of it. If someone is considering a benzo and reading this, exhaust other options first but if you need it, it can be a wonder drug. One mg seems such a low dose, it isn't. It's equal to 20 mg Diazepine. I've been on psych meds for 30 years and I do a lot of research. Sometimes I roll the dice and K has worked well. But know what you're getting into when your doc casually says benzo. Your doctor likely has never withdrawn from it or taken it and they can be quite casual when prescribing. This goes for any med for any condition. Antibiotics have rare but life threatening conditions. Read. | M | 59 | 10 years 1.5 mg 1X day | 1/1/2013 | 4 | anxiety | drowsy thats all thank god | Been on ativan xanxa valuim hated all klonopin works best but i think i'm additcted and immuned to it. So i want an increase at least to 2 mg but don't see dr and therapist good luck to all that suffer | F | 39 | 2 years 1mg 4X day | 1/1/2013 | 3 | Severe social anxiety disorder | Drowsiness, but fades quickly as you buld tolerance | Makes me more comfortable "out in the world." Relaxes me, but still have 'mental' issues (worrying about being judged or rejected). Would recommend, but no miracle pill. | M | 18 | 11 days 1 2X day | 1/1/2013 | 1 | anxiety after knee replacement surg | None at first, then too many to list here. | For those who have only taken Klonopin for a few days or a few weeks and plan to continue taking Klonopin for any length of time, at any dosage, for any reason, and you rate this poison a 5, guess what, you're hooked on it. I suggest you immediately and very carefully read all the 1 ratings for this wicked drug and heed the warnings. Those who gave this merciless drug a 5 rating don't have any clue about what is about to happen to them when they try to taper off this life sapping, so called, medication. Klonopin should be outlawed or MD's who prescibe Klonopin should be held monetarily responsible for the patients they prescrbe it to. Good luck, you've been warned. | M | 62 | 6 years 1 MG 1X day | 12/31/2012 | 5 | anxiety attacks | No side effects. Perfect fast reacting/urgent anxiety/panic attack medicine. | F | 28 | 6 years .5 | 12/23/2012 | 3 | Depression | Nausea anxiety dry mouth | F | 46 | 1 months 25 | 12/22/2012 | 5 | ptsd | Drowsiness. For everyone who had issues getting off of this med, you were taking too much. I stop mine anytime I want without issues. Last month, I had 30 remaining. Many people with bad withdrawals are also mixing their med with numerous other medications. No medication is supposed to be stopped without speaking to a doctor first, not just benz. Do your research before starting any medication, but keep in mind things like mental disorders or other medical conditions can cause the medication to have the adverse effects. There are medications to help people with withdrawal symptoms. | F | 28 | 1 years .5 3x per | 11/19/2012 | 5 | For insomnia | None | F | 42 | 3 years 4 mg/day | 11/10/2012 | 5 | Anxiety/Panic | Goofiness at first as my body adjusted, giddy and would giggle alot, but this passed. Sedation which again passed. Otherwise nothing else really significant. | This medication has helped me more than almost anything else. Only thing I hated was that when I did have a severe panic attack, it could take up to 2 hours for me to start to see effects and wind down; the flip side is that it has a long half-life (upto 50 hrs) and chilled me out and returned me to normal. Never a "high" or "doped-up" feeling, just an overall sense of calm and serenity. Combined with an SSRI and Neurontin, this combination helped me go from scared to death of people to be able to chill and just enjoy the company of friends without my brain going 1000mph. | M | 29 | 18 months 0.5 4X day | 11/8/2012 |
