| 4 | | 5/19/2002 | 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 | anxiety | none | Effective, but Highly addictive | M | 32 | 6 months | 4/5/2002 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
