 5  Anxiety/ panic attacks I took this drug for 13 years. I began taking this drug around age 24 when I started having severe anxiety. Doctors tried putting me on all kinds of different things and nothing worked. This was and is the only thing that has ever worked for me with no side effects. My new doctor took me off of it and I was doing ok without it for about a year and then my anxiety came back and it’s worse than ever. She’s had me try 3 other things and none of them work. If you have severe anxiety this drug is an absolute life saver. I would recommend breaking a 1 MG tablet in half and taking it as needed. They say this drug can cause memory loss. I haven’t experienced any myself and my anxiety is so bad that I’d rather take this and live a normal life and risk the memory loss over having severe anxiety. If you’re suffering from severe anxiety or panic attacks and nothing else has worked for you I highly recommend this drug. M 38 13 days

 5  Panic & anxiety None Clonazepam is a miracle drug. I have been dealing with panic & anxiety over 40 years and clonazepam helps me get through my day. I can take it and still go about my day if I need to stay awake however if I take it for sleep all I have to do is lay down and I'm totally relaxed F 54 100 days

 5  Panic attacks Clonazepam can make you a little bit sleepy but anything is better than suffering panic attacks hour after hour after hour. My doctor put me on 6 mg a day I weighed myself down to two and added an antidepressant together they work okay now I have a new Doctor who wants to completely take me awkwardness of him it's ridiculous. She says I can cause dementia well I would rather have dimension than experience panic attacks everyday with dementia you don't know what's going on with your body For me it did the job it made me functional in my life I wouldn't have been functional and able to work without it. I believe panic disorder is caused from a chemical imbalance I saw therapist they told me there was nothing wrong with me F 62 40 years

 5  Anxiety/Insomnia Sleepiness but that is a desired effect for me. Started off on 0.5mg up to 3 times a day but the dose was very low for me as I have an extremely high tolerance for Benzos so my Psychiatrist upped the dose to 2mg up to 3 times a day or 6mg at night - my choice I know I am addicted and I know withdrawal will be a nightmare. I hate having a lot of people in my house including my family. My relationship with my adult daughter is ‘difficult’ and I often have to take a tablet if I am going to be around her for more than a few minutes. I know one day I will need to withdraw and it will hurt but for now I am happy on this dose. F 53 12 years

 5  Panic disorder/Agoraphobia Slight drowsiness first few days. Brilliant drug. I was in 5 mg Valium for 2 years, then Ativan 2.5mg daily for 6 months. Wanted something that would last longer and with a longer half life so if I want to taper off it will be easier. Within 4 days ai was back to my old self, no anxiety, panic and agoraphobia almost completely gone. I can het out and do things again. Lasts for ages and makes me feel normal. Great medication. I thought it best to swap from Ativan due to the long duration of the drug and the long half life. Couldn’t be happier with my choice. Btw I have tried over 10 different medications like ssri, snri, tricyclic, antipsychotics, tetracyclics and the Clonazepam kicks their butt to the kerb! Also my psychiatrist told me that the anxiolytic properties of Clonazepam do not wear off for people with severe anxiety disorders. Hope this helps others make an informed decision. M 38 30 days

 5  Panic disorder None, love it I've been taking this a couple times a week for the last few years. Good stuff, it really helps with appetite and sleep and keeps me clear-headed. If you decide to take it, make sure you get the Teva brand (cvs should have it, but call around) because the other ones don't work as good. This drug doesn't have the addiction profile that so many other benzos do, it lasts a good 8 hours and it's breezy. Just don't take more than needed and don't go chasing a high because you aren't going to find it with this. M 36

 5  Anxiety Attacks First time taking it a little lightheaded, sleepiness but goes away once on it for a while. It's a miracle medication for me. Totally relaxes my speedy mind. I can actually concentrate better since it melts your stress away. I take it as needed now so it works better when I do need it. It's better then Xanax since it lasts longer but it takes a bit longer to kick in. Usually 15 minutes your brain is more at ease. I feel like I may need this for the rest of my life living in this crazy stressful world. It is the best anti-anxiety medication!!! I also tried Buspar and that stuff made me feel like I was losing my mind and made anxiety much much worse and gave me a speedy feeling with rapid heart beat. Stay far away from Buspar! Not sure why doctors prescribe all it does is the opposite of what its supposed to be for... M 41 3 years

 5  Generalised anxiety disorder Drowsiness at first , mild tremor on and off , forgetfulness, memory loss , vertigo , ear congestion , first few weeks of taking it I had sores in my mouth and on my gums but that stopped , weight gain and increased appetite , depression , head zaps and freezes (if you don't know what they are google them) Even thought I wrote a fair few side effects , the effectiveness it has on stopping my anxiety outweighs any of them. I have suffered severe anxiety my whole life , but mid way through last year I had a "break down" and literally could not get out of a constant panic attack for 6 months but after being prescribed this and getting the right dose as well as being on anti depressants , I have my life back I went from being to afraid to get out of bed at all and not eating or sleeping to living a pretty normal life again , I still have dips in my recovery but they don't last very long at all.

 5  Akathisia No side effects at all. Took away the anxiety, and nervousness in a very short amount of time. Lasts much longer than Xanax. I am very sensitive to medication, and had a bad side effect from Prevacid, and Zoloft. I went off both meds, but anxiety, restlessness, and panic attacks remained. Went off all meds except Clonazepam. Now I feel great, and can sleep well. I took this before with a similar problem with a medication, and I was on it for a few months, and had absolutely no problem dosing down. This is one of the very few medications that I do not have a problem with. F 53 1 months

 5  Depression and Anxiety None I am so thankful that I listened to my MD to take this in tandem with Mirtazapine (Rememron). I have had ZERO side effects and I'm not burning in benzo hell as some would have you believe. It relaxes me for sleeping and works very well for deep anxiety. Make sure you give it time. I've also been able to taper down fairly easily as needed. M 51 4 months
