| 5 | Anxiety over chronic illness dx | I have taken Klonopin on and off for at least 6 years with never any withdrawal symptoms. | I am prescribed 1mg 4times a day, but never take more than 2 a day and sometimes go months without taking any at all. | F | 46 | 6 years 1mg | 12/6/2015 | 2 | Restless Leg Syndrome, Insomnia | Fatigue, joints pain (elbows, knees), light sleep, withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, memory loss) | I was prescribed this because of leg movements during the night which could have been the cause of my fragmented sleep and lack of REM sleep. Even at the lowest dose it didn't work, deep sleep and REM sleep became scarcer. The pain in my knee was severe and caused many sleepless nights. And like with all benzodiazepines quitting proved difficult, because of the increased anxiety and the memory loss. The only positive thing about this drug is that it helps with social anxiety. During the time I was on it I was much more open and talkative. But the side effects are not worth it imo. I also discovered that taking this drug with (lemon) verbena herbal tea increased its effects. | M | 42 | 6 months 0.3 MG 1X day | 11/27/2015 Patient History | 5 | anxiety | No bothersome side effects at all. | This medication changed my life for the better. It is very effective at controlling anxiety and it does not make me feel foggy or sleepy at all. It is far better than anything else I have ever taken for anxiety. My psychiatric clinic decided to no longer prescribe any benzodiazepines a couple of years ago, but I was able to get my primary care doctor to prescribe it for me. | F | 46 | 18 years .5 mg 2X day | 11/19/2015 | 5 | Stress, anxiety | They caused bad withdrawal and severe back pain when out | I much rather have klonopin than anything else especially panaceas | F | 50 | 4 days 1mg 3mg da | 11/9/2015 | 5 | General Anxity | Have been in this 3 times a day since. I was 13. Helps with my PTSD, Anxity , panic attacks all my Anxity . Was sleepy when I first started but not now and never had to increase the amount | F | 32 | 10 years 0.5 | 11/1/2015 | 2 | Anxiety | Brain fog, drowsiness, pancreatitis, dizziness | I have a rare pancreatic/biliary disorder that causes nausea and vomiting. Klonopin helped treat these symptoms plus the overwhelming anxiety that accompany my condition. Problem is when I wanted to go off it I entered a living nightmare. I did a very slow taper over 9 months. By the 6 month mark I started getting pancreatic attacks. I figured it was part of my condition, but noticed the attacks worsened on days I lowered my dose. I went off Klonopin entirely and was dizzy for a month. It felt like I was on a boat. I'd get nausea, panic attacks, and the pancreatic pain was beyond what pain medication could touch. I cannot believe this medication caused such bad withdrawal and for so long! I will never take a benzo again. | F | 46 | 3 years .25 mg 2X day | 10/9/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Depression awful you cry on this drug a lot, it messes also with your bowels..system. Keep clear its to potent for anxiety so is Xanax!!! | it never really solves anything just gives a slight mask feeling. Changes you also to someone you don't know anymore slowly. I havn't taken any today and am not going to now, screw it not worth it don't want to wake up in 10yrs and think why how when. The lady who took it for grieving why? you should grieve, its normal to have painful feelings society we dampen them to much | M | 47 | 1 years 0.5 1X day | 10/5/2015 | 5 | Panic Attacks, Anxiety & Fear | Try to start off on a very SMALL dosage - break.5 into 4 pieces or more - can make you very tired until your body gets used to it. | I suffered from panic attacks & anxiety since my 20s. Klonopin has helped me to fly again, successful in business because I could focus & had no fear. When my mother passed away in a sudden accident it helped me with my grief. Excellent drug | F | 67 | 5 years .5-1mg | 9/25/2015 | 1 | Anxiety Disorder | Tremors, head felt like hot coals, right eye twitching, isolated myself, hard to leave house, felt very sick. | This is a terrible drug. No Dr. should give this for long term use for anxiety. The Klonopin builds up to toxic levels in ur body and no longer works. Then, u start feeling really sick and don't kno why. At 1st I started to taper for 21/2 months; got sick of being sick so then I just stopped at 1 mg. it's now 11 days of pure hell. Terrible nite sweats, insomnia, no appetite. Force myself to eat something. AND thru all this going on still have to force myself to work. I'm a clean freak, but my house is a MESS. Can't stand it, but no motivation, energy. I pray, pray, all day for this to end. Never experienced w/d before.Is there anyone else going thru this? | F | 60 | 2 years 1mg 2x day | 9/25/2015 | 4 | Anxiety | Klonopin is the only thing that helps me through panic attacks (besides Xanax) it can become very addicting so I'd be careful. It's also the only medicine that helps with the DP/DR. | F | 22 | 3 months .5 mg | 9/24/2015 | 1 | Depression | exhaustion, weakness, heavy head, brain-bouncing feeling, heart palpitations, chest tightness, icy extremities, sweating, burning crawling skin, joint pain, distorted vision, hearing and sense of smell | This drug left me sicker than I have ever been in my life times 100. I have been off this drug for over a year and slowly recovering and hope to be well by 1.5 years | F | 62 | 1 years 2 | 9/19/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Chest pain, trouble breathing, brain fog,memory problems | JUST AN EVIL DRUG STAY AWAY FROM IT! | M | 42 | 1 years 1.5MG DAIL | 9/19/2015 | 4 | Panic Attacks | Apparently this medication does everybody differently, but for me it's been GREAT! I personally know some other individuals who have taken it and they didn't have any problems with it either. All medications does everybody different. | F | 41 | 1mg 2X day | 9/10/2015 | 1 | To counter a steroid effects | nerve damage symptoms on chest, ribs, abdomen, paresthesia in throat, sore and painful skin, ribs and torso and chest squeezing non stop for months, trouble breathing, labored breathing, breathlessness, abdomen pressure, pressure in temple, irregular breathing, hyperventilating, insomnia, sleep disturbances, crawling on skin and in throat, muscular pain, aching, itching inside skin on chest. | evil drug | F | 34 | 1 years .5-1 | 8/28/2015 | 1 | Anxiety Attacks | General confusion More anxiety Horrible withdrawal | Earlier this week, I became severely disoriented. My husband told me that I couldn't remember who he was for 2 hours. That did it for me! I qit the med and ended up in the ER last night with a severe anxiety attack, had vomited non-stop for 6 hours, fever, chills, sweating,nausea. It was worth it to withdraw though. I never want to see that bottle again. | F | 34 | 2 weeks 1mg | 7/31/2015 | 1 | anxiety | severe anxiety, depression, insomnia, loss of interest in activities,loss of confidence | This and other benzos are CNS depressants, and their "good effects" last only a few weeks at most. It took me nearly a year to taper off this moderate dose, and about another 6 months to fully recover "pre-drug" levels of functioning. There is definitely hope.. but take it slow and be patient (the bad effects fade away, but last many weeks to months after final taper)... eat healthy and exercise (daily walks) for those wanting off this drug. I feel back to normal thankfully. | M | 56 | 6 months .05mg 1X day | 7/26/2015 | 4 | For chronic panic disorder | It's just a very effective drug for my particular disorder-and better even, I experience no withdraws when I stop. | I think it's important to use when needed only. I've never felt addicted to it, and don't abuse it. So, I'm shocked that pp have such trouble stopping it. Why does stopping not effect me negatively? | F | 37 | 1 years 1/2mg day | 7/19/2015 | 1 | anxiety | Its first helped my anxiety and my husbands. It helped us sleep too. The next morning I would feel groggy and irritable it would take me awhile to get goin it would take me awhile to get going. And also made me very forgetful and my husband very forgetfu and my husband very forgetful. We fal and my husband very forgetful. We fought all the time and it causes paranoia. I am a totally different person on it and so is h I am a totally different person on it and so is he. It would make us figh I am a totally different person on it and so is he. It would make us fight in front of our kids and do things that we would not normally do. | Do not take this drug. If you are in a relationship, your relationship will change And your relationship will fall apart. You will become disinterested in people and things you love and it will make you crazy and you will become detached from things that you love. It does help anxiety a little bit but the side effects are horrible. I discourage anyone to take this medication. I pray that my fiance wakes up and switches to something else because he will not listen to me. Other people have told him the same thing and have warned him about the way he acts on it but he doesn't listen. I pray that God will help him and I pray that his doctor will take him off and I pray that his doctor will change his medication to something else because it is destroying our family. | F | 40 | 8 years 20 | 7/18/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Withdrawal like alcohol, shakes, shits stomach problems, depression | I would never have taken if I had known the side effects. Makes you sicker then you were, after long term use. Please don't use long term | F | 57 | 10 years 1mg | 7/13/2015 | 5 | Anxiety, panic disorder | None | I have had no side effects from taking this med. I don't feel it take effect or wear off. The only way I know I've taken it is the fact that I no longer have panic attacks. this is the mildest drug I've ever taken taken. No side effects at all. | F | 36 | 2 years 1 mg | 7/9/2015 |
