 5  anxiety/Bi-polar Disorder None Love it! Have yet to find a better medication. Takes effect immediately. I think the possibility of addiction to it a small price to pay considering the Manic Depression I was suffering from prior. I've taken 14 anti-depressants, and I find this to be the best. Started taking this Med on 12/2002 for about 3 months when new p doc took me off of it. General Practioner just put me back on it. F 29 3 months

 1  anxiety/depression READ THE SIDE EFFECT WARNINGS- carefully! This medication can cause increased depression, confusion, and a loss of sense of well being read it in the indications it's all in the indications.- I ended up in the hospital over this medication- if it could happen to me it could happen to some one else too! F 30 15 days

 2  panic disorder Heart palpitations nearly always occured within a few minutes of taking it. Sure it made me feel sleepy, but was quickly replaced by anxiety with my heart arrythmias. Don't take it if you have a tendancy to have heart dysrhythmias. It caused frequent PACs with me. F 46

 1  anxiety During my first week of clonazepam treatment, at a dose of 2 mgs. daily, I began exhibiting pseudo-psychoric behavior .I.E., I would awaken suddenly at night and instead of sleeping in my bed, I'd be standing in the kitchen eating (what i probably thought was food)my lipstick stick! One tiny example , inumerable others. Gradually became depressed. Lost any and all motivation to do ANYTHING! WhenI reported this to my Dr. at the time, he sais he'd never heard of such side effects and increased my dose!! I'm weaning myself off the last 2 mgs. I was on 8mgs. daily for over 7 years! It's a miracle I'm still alive. Stay away from this stuff, esp. if you're not epileptic. F 45 7 years

 5  social anxiety Sedation and tiredness. For me, works great, no tolerance and no addiction when taken as-needed 2-3 times/week. M 42 2 years

 3  Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia A little sleepiness. I only take it on an as needed basis, which fortunately isn't often these days. Neither this nor any benzodiazepine has ever worked like a miracle drug for me, but it mutes the symptoms a bit and makes me sleepy, a relief in the midst of a severe panic attack. F 32 2 years

 4  anxiety so far I haven't had any real significant side effects, just really tired and sorta spacey.... I am just curious... is it dangerous to drink caffine while using this drug? I mean its a seditive and caffine is an upper right? I smoke too... what should i look for?? I just don't want to hurt myself... any feed back would be greatly appreciated. F 25 1 weeks

 5  Panic Attacks I feel no negative side effects taking .5mg one to three times daily, always before 8:00 am. Sometimes I even get a nice Five years ago, I stopped all medications cold. This included sleeping pills, paxil, ativan and even lithium (dont't go there if you can at all avoid it - very strange stuff!). It was difficult, but I managed, with great pride! However, several months ago, I began to experience severe panic attacks, while driving no less. As you can imagine, this puts quite a limitation on your life - how in the heck do you get to work? This would not do... so with great hesitation, I requested relief from my doctor. He prescribed the .5mg Clonazepam three times daily. It is working like a charm and I feel confident and human once again. He is trying other medication for me too, like Paxil (NO), and now Celexa (NOT PLAYING THAT GAME AGAIN!) His concern is that I will become addicted to the Clonazepam. I figure, at my age and at the minimal dosage I take... who cares... as long as I continue to feel good and comfortable! It has truly changed my life for the better! F 43 2 months

 3  Panic/anxiety attacks I was prescribed 1mg to be taken 2 times daily as needed. As I was having negative side effects from paxil (hated it). I weaned myself off of paxil against against my docotors advice (however I am working with a therapist who urges me to get off the meds) and went down to .5 mg of clonazepam and felt only slight withdrawl symptoms from the paxil. I then tried to weak myself off the clonazepam further...thinking its only .5 mg's - i experienced 2 major panic attacks in one day. I would really like to not be on anything at all but this seems to help keep the panic at bay. F 31 4 months
