| 1 | insomnia | severe depression rebound anxiety vision problems GI tract symptoms irritability head pains suicidal thoughts urinary frequency IBS symptoms severe nightmares nausea joint pain visual disturbances vertigo joint pain tooth pain senses heightened including hearing touch . paranoia fear sense of going insane unreality feelings. visual auras tension | In My opinion all benzo diazepines should be outlawed. The symptoms are horrendous and its very addicting and nearly impossible to get off of. The symptoms of rebound and withdrawal are almost unbearable. This drug caused my depression to increase to the point in which I was suicidal and it created extreme anxiety on the rebound. When the dose wears off Your original symptoms return ten fold. I strongly urge anyone to avoid this type of drug . Avoid caffeine on this med and when tapering off. I have been off clonazepam for four months after so called short term and still going through horrific nightmares and other symptoms of dementia. I truly believe this drug has changed the physiology of My brain. My memory is really bad and I feel so tired all the time as I can no longer reach deep sleep stages. I wake tired and very soar and unrested. Avoid this and other benzodiazepines at all cost. Both My Doctor and pharmacist were inept regarding this drug. They told Me to just taking it and I did. I had seizure and almost died even at a low dose. | M | 61 | 0,5mg 2X day | 7/4/2015 | 1 | Anxiety/ AD withdrawal | Still trying to recover from being on this drug. Absolutely horrible. | M | 24 | 1 years 1mg/day | 7/3/2015 | 1 | Nausea | Fatigue, foggy thinking, memory loss, lack of motivation, fear, depression, crying | I have been taking 1 mg for two years and have had a horrific time getting off of it. It depresses your nervous system and can cause de realization and addiction rather quickly. For the people saying that all of these "withdrawal" symptoms" must be something else or made up are probably going to be in for a rude awakening one day. Granted some people don't have withdrawals but many, many do and they are not pleasant. Stay away from this drug and benzos in general if you value your sanity. | F | 39 | 1 days 1mg | 6/19/2015 | 2 | Anxiety | Sudden outbursts irrational anger, sad depressed wasnt before hand. forgetful all the time, all over the shop. | This drug is like Heroin, it seduces you slowly but for longer periods 30hrs, this is what makes it so dangerous when mixed. It causes shocking depression but will help with panic attacks, this is not the answer folks trust me. You need to face fears, ride through them, dont make matters worse. You may think your having a great life for 1-2-4- 20yrs but it comes at a cost. I felt like a rock on it i never moved much really.. Sick of all these useless benzo meds.they give you a false feeling of " I can do it". No incorrect YOU can do it not the meds full stop look up mindfulness learn it better than K | M | 47 | 7 months .5 1X day | 6/14/2015 | 1 | anxiety related to a new health dia | Benzo withdrawal syndrome, easier to say I had over half of sx listed if not most of them. | Seriously in the 10+ years I took as prescribed, I lost nearly everything including my mind, home, health, I had a chronic illness diagnosed. My health continued to decline both physically and mentally and illness nearly lost my self to dementia, doctors kept increasing dosages, adding more and more pills... without ever considering they caused the things I was experiencing. I am still tapering off after 3 years. In severe withdrawal but improving slowly with less of this poison. Please find alternative methods to psych meds. I cannot stress enough how much suffering is possible. You cannot fathom it until you've been incapacitated for years with no hope of getting well. I only hope there is no permanant damage and I can rebuild from this last 10 years. | F | 35 | 10 years 5mg | 6/14/2015 | 1 | Currently taking klonopin for RLS | This is the Devils drug! I've run out of my meds for 1 week last year and the side effects went from mild face numbness on day 2, to haliousinations, vomiting, complete out of body feeling, hearing voices and more by day 7! I had no clue what was going on, until I started searching the Internet. I had every side effect listed! I am currently trying to taper on my own because my Dr said there's no way to get off that he can help me with. No one told me these horrible side effects when I was prescribed this drug. I went down 2 mg 12 days ago, and it's been nothing but crazy! Crying for no reason, fell down the stairs because I'm so off balance, the whole spectrum! Oh, let's not forget the memory loss! It's absolutely horrible! | Please don't take this medication! Find a better solution! I'm losing my family over this nasty doctor prescribed drug. Want to feel like a drug addict? If yes-this is that drug for you-no one believes what's happening to you, and is pure hell! | F | 29 | 5 years 4 mg | 6/2/2015 | 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 | to help me sleep | Just want to know am I gonna experience any wd from this don't wanna take anymore don't want to be addicted | M | 30 | 1 months .5mg | 5/13/2015 | 5 | Anxiety disorder, Sleep issues | None, absolutely wonderful. | When used as directed and only as-needed, it works wonderfully. Been taking it once or twice a week for over a year now and it helps with my sleep disorder. Very low potential for abuse, does not cause any euphoria or withdrawal side effects. | M | 33 | 1 years 1.25mg 2X W | 5/7/2015 | 4 | Anxiety | Be careful not to get addicted to this drug. I asked my doctor if I could take it twice a day and he agreed but I don't always take the second pill. It's just in case I really need it because some days I need 2. I try to do other things to decrease my anxiety before I go to the klonopin like listening to relaxation videos/Tibetan singing bowls because I do not want to end up getting use to the med and having to increase the dose for the same relief. When I don't take it some days I notice my anxiety is so bad I'm very irritable and feel like im gonna jump out of my skin. | Just be careful and cautious. Only take when you absolutely need to. | F | 23 | 3 months .5 2X day | 4/24/2015 | 5 | anxiety and panic disorder | F | 32 | 1 years 1mg 3 x da | 4/19/2015 | 5 | Anxiety | I had no side effects while on klonopin except I needed more and more because I became physically addicted to it! On it for 9 years and my primary care doc kept writing scripts instead of talking to me and seeing if I really needed this addicting drug for so long. | Don't take it! I tried to cold turkey it last July. Big mistake! Ended up in the ER twice. They thought I was showing signs of ms and did a brain MRI on me. I don't have ms. It was all horrible withdrawl symptons! I went back on but have been slowly weaning since then. Every time I wean I have withdrawl of course not as severe as cold turkey but it's terrible. I hope to be free of this drug by this July a year after ending up in the ER. I want the old me back! | F | 51 | 9 years 0.5 mg 4x | 4/8/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Glassy eyed, tired, lethargic, headache | I was on Klonopin six years ago for a couple of months and then crossed over to Valium and tapered for a month. I had severe muscle aches, chemical anxiety, and insomnia (3-4 hours of sleep a night). This went on for a few months but things improved each week and I healed. Stupid me went on Klonopin again in Nov 2013. I was on it for four months. Crossed over to Valium and did a six week taper. I am one year off and still suffering terribly!!! I have total insomnia for a year now (no sleep-zero for days at a time unless I take Benadryl to get a few hours), severe emotional blunting: can't cry or feel love for my children, muscle twitching, head pressure, and burning skin. This withdrawal has rendered me almost non functional. Benzos are poison!!! Never ever take them. If you need something for anxiety, try Valerian root. If you need a prescription, try Vistaril. But never use benzos. This has destroyed my life and my family. | F | 48 | 4 months .75 mg | 4/8/2015 | 5 | bad anxiety | None a little tired | This pills really work they have help me a lot with my anxiety and helps me to be able to sleep. | F | 28 | 1 days 1 mg | 3/31/2015 | 5 | insomnia and fibromyalgia | No side effects except the benefits of the drug seemed to be somewhat fluctuating from nite to nite after many years and I had no desire to increase the dosage. | I slowly tapered off of my 2 mg dosage; it took 1-1/2 months of a wide variety of awful, awful side effects. But I am strong enough that I persevered and I got completely off (everybody is different). Once I was completely off (for 2 months), my insomnia and fibromyalgia pain returned with a vengeance. I felt I was slowly dying from sleep deprivation, and I'm sure that I was. I could not rely on soma (which doesn't do much if taken daily) and other weaker sleep medications. It was soon clear that I had to go back on Klonopin and take it until my dying day. Klonopin is literally a life saver for me! | F | 65 | 2 mg 1X day | 3/30/2015 Patient History | 1 | anxiety | Head pressure dizzyness heart flutter cramping | Do not take this drug. Extremely difficult to get off. | M | 68 | 3 years .5mg | 3/20/2015 | 3 | Anxiety | I've felt more sad since I started taking this dose (2 days ago). At times I feel like crying, for no reason. It's feels like I'm switching my anxiety for sadness. | This has worked for my severe anxiety, but since raising the dose 2 days ago, I notice I'm much more sad. I hope this passes. | F | 31 | 2 days 0.5 mg 3X day | 2/11/2015 | 1 | My boyfriend is taking it. | My boyfriend gets very drowsy, angry, physical, can't think clearly, slurs his words, depressed. | Don't know why this is prescribed so much, it is a very addictive drug if abused! | F | 34 | 7 years 10 mg 10X day | 2/11/2015 | 1 | my husband was taking it | At first he was OK. He has always been a sweet loving person however he takes too many of them and it makes them very aggressive, loud, angry and yells at me in front of our son it has been a complete hell for us every time he gets it. | I wish the doctor would have never introduced them to it because it is breaking up our marriage. I dread when he gets them every month. | F | 8 months 30 | 2/6/2015 | 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 |
