| 5 | Panic Disorder | Slight sedation, Keeps anxiety at acceptable situational response | This sight is such a joke. Awful lot of complainers who don't take responsibility for their own health. A Dr. is not getting rich from prescribing this generic med to you. You have an addictive personality, YOUR FAULT, you rely on a med and not other forms of treatment for anxiety issues, YOUR FAULT,. Be an adult and stop your bellyaching. This med has been a lifesaver for me. I have gone down from 1mg spread throughout the day to .25 mg one time with no problem. Will taper off this small dose in the near future. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH STOP BLAMING OTHERS. | F | 41 | 1 years .25 1X day | 3/18/2012 | 5 | Insomnia, mild anxiety | I did not note any serious side effects however I started on .5 mg and then after a period of time increased to 1 mg due to increased stress in my life | I have been on klonopin for well over 10 years. For the first years I took .5 mg to help slow my mind done enough to get sleep. Without it I could not fall asleep or stay asleep. Over a period of time I started to use it strictly as needed, maybe one- three nights a week. I have never had any problems with coming off of it. I feel this drug has done wonders to keep me from losing my mind due to lack of sleep. I am also bipolar and it never has seemed to cause any adverse effects as reLted to my manic/ depressive episodes.. I did however used to be on Effexor which I had a horrible time coming off of. Withdrawals as described by many here as they went off klonopin. | F | 52 | 10 years 1 mg 1X day | 3/18/2012 | 5 | I'm taking it for anxiety | The only side effects I get from it is drowsiness and a feeling of being drunk. But overall I love it ,it calmes me down and gets me off of my everyday worries. | F | 26 | 1 days 1mg | 8/30/2012 | 5 | Insomnia,GAD | Sleepiness | I've been taking this drug a while now and I have never felt any withdrawl sysmtoms if I miss a dose. It has been a very helpful in my life. I am able to sleep through the night without laying in bed for hours before falling asleep. It also has been great for me when I feel like I'm going into a panic attack. I'm prescribed 2 MG a day but I never take more then 1 and most days it's only .5. I have never felt the need to increase my dosage because my tolerance level has changed. If you're smart and take the lowest dosage you can handle I honestly believe this drug can be helpful. If you do abuse this drug then you very well may be asking for trouble later down the road. | F | 32 | 2 years .5-1.0 1X day | 10/12/2012 | 5 | Panic disorder | None. | This medication has been my saving grace for panic attacks. I have very severe and random panic attacks. When I have one, I take one of these, and within 15 minutes, I can handle my life again. I no longer worry about going crazy, or dying all the time. I can handle my anxiety and make it through my day. | F | 23 | 3 years .25 MG 1X AN | 11/4/2012 | 5 | For insomnia | None | F | 42 | 3 years 4 mg/day | 11/10/2012 | 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 | Panic attacks | Sleepiness, so calm. | 14 reviews for this drug, all on April 8, and all with a rating of 1. Sounds kind of fishy. Anyways, love this medicine, but take it sparingly! Your memory is affected by this drug. You also get addicted very easily, even if you're just taking it as the doctor tells you. But it works wonders. | F | 23 | 2 years 1mg 1X W | 4/20/2013 | 5 | anxiety attacks | No side effects. Perfect fast reacting/urgent anxiety/panic attack medicine. | F | 28 | 6 years .5 | 12/23/2012 | 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 | 5 | Anxiety | Calmness, sometimes sleepiness. | Unless you suffer from extreme panic attacks every day, this should never be taken daily. I take it twice a week. I tried going off of it after 6 months to see if I could & I was able to go without it for a month. I carry the bottle in my purse & that alone makes me feel better. Do NOT take this whenever you feel like it. Take it only when you feel like you'll have an anxiety attack without it. This is not a long-term medication. After getting on an anti-depressant, I found I take Klonopin much less often. I recommend it if you have self-control & have been educated on its SHORT-term purpose. | F | 21 | 12 months 0.5 1X AN | 4/15/2011 | 5 | GAD, OCD, Germaphobia | NONE | it is the best relaxing drug iv experienced. There have been days i would go without even weeks and i do not feel like myself. With klonopin everything seems so much better. It helps a lot whenever you take the recommended dosage. | F | 21 | 2 years 1mg 4X day | 5/1/2011 | 5 | Anxiety | No side affects. | I am so thankful for this drug. I was having anxiety so bad that I felt like my heart was beating so fast it was going to punch a hole thru my chest and fly right now. I feel normal on it. I still have things that upset me but I feel like I used to feel without that heart punching thru my chest feeling. It's wonderful. | F | 57 | 4 days .05-1mg 2X day | 7/15/2011 | 5 | anxiety/ panic attacks | Absolutely none | Klonopin has helped me tremendously with my anxiety. I only take it as needed. Most days I cut my pill in half and that does the trick. Then some days I need a whole pill. I probably take it 3-4 times a week. I'm not worried about the addiction part because the benefits of not living with panic attacks are far greater. Love this stuff!!!! | F | 40 | 3 years 0.5 1X day | 7/29/2011 | 5 | anxity, stress | I take the klonopin once daily (at bedtime) and it helps me relax so I can sleep. I have racing thoughts. but with the klonopin, that has stopped. also if I am having some issues with anxiety during the day one tablet will calm me and help me not go into panic mode. Have been taking klonopin for over a yr now with no side effects. and much success. | I take the klonopin once daily (at bedtime) and it helps me relax so I can sleep. I have racing thoughts. but with the klonopin, that has stopped. also if I am having some issues with anxiety during the day one tablet will calm me and help me not go into panic mode. Have been taking klonopin for over a yr now with no side effects. and much success.--- also taking 200 mgs of Lamictal once a day (bedtime) for Bi-polar disorder- no side effects, and is a life saver! no cycling. been stable for a while now. and so much happier. | F | 42 | 0.5 1X day | 6/25/2013 Patient History | 5 | severe panic and anxiety | none, I know of but after reading all these comments, maybe weight gain and some tiredness, altho I AM 80 | I thank God every day as I have not had one episode since going on it, it is pretty scary to read so many negative comments, guess people like me don't write in, my only problem is that I cannot not find klonopin now and will have to use generic which I tried and and found some anxiety returning | F | 80 | 20 times .5 1X day | 9/11/2011 | 5 | Anxiety | Some drowsiness. | For me, this has been a miracle drug. I have severe episodic anxiety (PTSD-related) that leads to vomiting and all sorts of other unpleasant things. When I'm exposed to one of my triggers, I take Klonopin for a few days until I'm settled down back to normal. Used this way, it has been a life-changing drug -- I am able to maintain full-time employment and lead a normal life, something I wasn't able to do before I had a drug that could ward off the anxiety episodes. The first few months I had to take it pretty often (almost daily), but over time I've learned that if I take it immediately as soon as I feel triggered, 2-3 days of Klonopin is enough to stop the anxiety episode before it has a chance to get started, and then it can be weeks before I have to take it again. Taken in this way, I have not experienced any problems with tolerance or addiction. | F | 24 | 3 years 0.5 mg 1X AN | 9/8/2011 | 5 | Chronic Anxiety and Panic Attacks | I do not have any side effects with Klonopins, I do have side effects with every anti-depressant that I have tried to take. I have tried 9 different anti-depressants from Amitriptyline, Clexa, Cymbalta, and many others. Doctors try to shove them down your throat even though you are not depressed just have anxiety. | I am happy with Klonopins. I have not had any more panic attacks and it comes down my anxiety, It doesn't completely take it away which is good because I do not feel numb to the world. It has not affected my memory and I know this because I am in college. I have not forgotten a thing that I have learned. I thank god everyday that I do not feel like I am having a heart attack, cannot sleep, and can leave my house. | F | 32 | 3 years 1mg 3X day | 11/6/2011 | 5 | Chronic anxiety and panic attacks | I have been on this medication for 17 year's it has worked GREAT for me and still does!! It will just make you a little drowsie.. | F | 36 | 10 years 2 mg | 8/25/2012 | 5 | panickattacks | It wrks gud my dad takes it to but his dose is stronger he told me if i start to have an attack chew it up it gets in ur sytem faster unstead of waiting min to kick in. Pill 2 Powder. | F | 32 | 1 months 1mg | 11/19/2011 |
