| 5 | Anxiety | For awhile I thought I didn't like it, but now I prefer it. | F | 57 | 4 months 1 mg. 3x d | 8/12/2016 | 5 | Stomach problems inducing anxiety | For the past 18 years I suffer from bouts of stomach/digestive issues post-meal resulting in severe nausea, sickness, stomach pressure and indigestion that can last anywhere from an hour to several hours when I feel the food hasn't been digested properly. The symptoms are so intense and unpleasant they also cause severe anxiety. Sometimes I also feel sick on empty stomach or hours after eating even if I felt fine after a meal. These attacks can be completely random any no diet modification ever worked. I can eat the same meal 3 days in a row, feel fine for 2 days and get sick on the 3rd day or feel sick on the 1st day and completely normal on the other two. The flare ups can be brutal. Sometimes it's 3-5 times a month, sometimes virtually every day for months but I also have long periods when I'm generally fine and eating normally without any meds. I've tried all possible stomach prescription medications -antiacids, Reglan, Librax and whatnot with very little relief. If it's a straighforward acid reflux then PPIs work but it's about 25% of the time. The rest of the symptoms are uncontrollable. Before September of this year I used 1 mg of Clonazepam only while flying (4 flights total)and it was fantastic. It put me to sleep for 4-5 hrs without any side effects unlike Ambien which was inconsistent. This Sept. my stomach after months of relative normality started acting up after meals (mostly diner). One day I suffered so badly I took .25 of Clonazepam and it worked miracles re | Proceed with caution | F | 47 | 3 months .25 5 x mo | 11/24/2016 | 5 | Severe anxiety | Sleeping a lot. Gradually cut back to .5mg a day. Much better. When I get really depressed, I tend to take more so I can sleep more. Withdrawal is horrible. I have went off them before and was still a mess after 4 months. I have bad panic without them. Only thing that helps my panic attacks and I tried everything. | Good drug if you have agoraphobia or bad anxiety and panic attacks. | F | 62 | 10 years 1mg daily | 1/26/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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.

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 | 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 | 5 | Generalized anxiety disorder | Had no noticible side effects.

I withdrew from every1, but my husband & sons. I never left the apartment unless I absolutely had to. I found out about Klonopin from my husband's doctor. I called my doctor..he was hesitant at first, but knew I was grasping for hope. He had me try just about every antidepressant on the market.They all made me have nonstop anxiety attacks, made me severely depressed & I stayed nauseous & sick, so he put me on 6 MG Klonopin... 2 MG 3 times a day. I took that dosage for many years then I had to change doctors due to insurance. My new doctor changed the dose to 1 MG 3 times a day. That was 3 yrs ago. This passed September I was put on a new antidepressant. I went to get my Klonopin refilled but my doctor said no. After 3 wks I started having the episodes again and I have withdrawn from every1 again. I've had no meds of any kind for almost 2 months... I live in darkness again & it's like hell on earth. I don't know if I'm addicted to Klonopin cause the only thing I'm experiencing is what I started feeling when I was 15, & had never taken medicine of any kind before.. I didn't actually start meds until I was 28. Nothing ever worked except Klonopin. I know Klonopin won't work for everyone but it worked for me. | F | 40 | 10 years 3 MG | 11/19/2014 | 5 | anxiety/panic | Helps me with panic-related voices, and gives me no side effects that I mind very much.

I spent long days, months, years paralyzed in my house, with crushing panic attacks at the thought of having to go out. Klonopin put an end to that problem. | F | 50 | 10 years 1.0- 2.0 m | 11/27/2014 | 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 | 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 | 5 | Anxiety | No side effects.
