| 5 | panic disorder | i fell relaxed | there aretimes that i will have my panic disorder or anxiety. i purchased clonazepam which made me feel good. | F | 22 | 30mg 1X day | 2/4/2010 | 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 | 1.5mg 2X W | 2/17/2018 | 5 | My mother has a prescription to these, but I've taken them from time to time to help with anxiety, stress and severe painful muscle tension. I have issues with depersonalization and I find it impossible to relax. My shoulder muscles are constantly rock solid and massaging them won't help. These meds really help it all. | F | 21 | 1X day | 5/13/2012 | 5 | anxiety | sleepiness | M | | 7/3/2006 | 5 | anxiety | 1X day | 1/14/2017 | 4 | sleep aid | drowsy feeling in he morning | a half tablet is ery effctive as a sleep aid | M | 63 | | 1/18/2001 | 4 | depression | ;none | 'kind of addicting | M | 50 | | 12/22/2007 | 3 | anxiety and sever depression | none | i havent taken it yet but i keep having all these weird anxiety feelings espescially the unreal feeling my doc. says please take meds. as needed dont get depending on it. i need to know should i take this med. for anxiety i surpose to take .05mg once at night.i'm really scared. them antidepressants (celexa) having me feeling worst than i was at first. please some one tell me something. im tired of feeling nervous all the time. | F | 26 | | 6/7/2005 | 2 | Anxiety + panic attacks | Always puts me to sleep nomatter what time of the day; giving me weird situational dreams. All are abnormally realistic (nothing that couldnt happen in reality) and most are nightmares. I hope my doctor puts me on xanax because this is also not helping with my chest pains or anxiety as much as it should. | F | 18 | .5 2X day | 9/14/2010 | 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 | | 5/18/2004 | 4 | Restless Legs Syndrome | Sometimes sluggish in the morning but only when first starting. | This drug helped me sleep after years of problems with RLS. It was such a treat to go to bed and not wake up until morning! My only complaint is that you have to keep increasing the dose as your body adjusts to it so this led to needing more and more. Long-term side effects are relatively unknown and there is a reputation for these drugs to have an effect on memory so I had to stop taking them after two months. Now I'm back to Restless Legs! | F | 29 | 2 times | 9/4/2008 | 5 | panic driving on freeways | no side effects | Completely amazed that taking one .5 mg pill took away the horrible panic attacks i had while driving on freeway. now i take one .5 pill an hour before driving and can drive through downtown of a huge city on the freeway. I am testing other freeways but looks like this medication has liberated me. I only take it before driving on freeway so am not fearful of the addiction or side effects others are experiencing. To me this drug has been a life saver and i am grateful for it. | F | 51 | 3 times | 7/29/2009 | 4 | anxiety | Nausea headache blurred vision | This medicine is greatly helpful it reduce my anxiety level astonishly it reduce also suicidal thought & also finish cutting your hand and wrist with blade.... | M | 20 | 10 times .25 | 4/7/2015 | 1 | Anxiety and Depression | Listen up people. If you begin this drug, your life will Never Be The Same Ever. Even as you develop Tolerance and Tolerance Withdrawal, the suffering you endure will be Unfathomable. You likely will Suffer Permanent Neurological Damage which can include Tinnitus and Permanent Worse Anxiety and Severe Depression, even Decades After Stopping. To say nothing of being nonfunctional for a decade or more, at a minimum. Just Don't. I lost Everything and don't know if I Can Even Go On. Consider this as possible the only Serious Warning, because You Will Never Be Told The Truth About These Drugs By Any Provider. The reason they won't warn you is because if they didn't prescribe this Poison is that They Would Have No Income If They Didn't!! Simple As That. If you want a future, don't take even one pill. Use Magnesium to effectively relieve anxiety.Take large doses of magnesium for anxiety it works for panic too. I used to have a life before these drugs.It is probably too late for me to rebuild what I lost, Virtually Everything I Ever Had. I will mourn everything I lost, including Myself, til the day I die. | It appears we can't hold any of them legally liable due to a Supreme Court decision regarding patients c. ?2011. | F | 66 | 0 days Can't reme 1X day | 11/27/2022 | 4 | anxiety/depression | I'mslightconfussedonsomestuff Alwaysiaadaze. Everrythingseemstobeinslowmotion.. Idropthingseasily..Mybodyjustwantstomovenutitjustcant Itstorelaxed.Itsmyfirstdayonittho. | F | 25 | 1 days .50 | 12/14/2011 | 3 | Anxiety, teeth grinding, insomnia | vivid dreams, laughing for no reason, uneven heart rate. I had been diagnosed with panic attacks, insomnia, and anxiety about 18 months ago. I grind my teeth horribly at night and clench during the day and decided to try this drug after reading information from Mayo Clinic. | My physician prescribed .5mg 2x per day. After reading all the comments on this site I decided to try .125 mg, which is 1/4 of .5mg, before bedtime. She told me I would have to stop taking my Ambien if I started taking clonazepam. After about 30 minutes I started feeling "weird" & my heart was racing. So I added .25 mg of xanax. I layed there and started laughing for no reason. This happened about 6 times in 1/2 hour. But I noticed my jaw was not clenching anymore. I had cool dreams. This was only my 1st night. I will try again tonight but am afraid of taking a higher dose at this point or during the day. Will update later.. | F | 40 | 1 days | 8/15/2008 | 3 | PTSD | M | 25 | 1 days | 10/23/2007 | 2 | Anxiety/ panic Attacks 1mg | tiredness, lack of sex drive,aches,belching after I eat or drink, a change in blood pressure,emotional numbness, irritability especially when trying to reduce dosage or stop taking it. | I am undecided as to whether the side effects are better or worse then having the disorder.This drug is highly addictive. It is more difficult to stop taking this then it is to quit smoking. I haven't had a panic attack since I have been on the drug, but I recommend for others with this disorder to quit smoking and drinking. Exorcise 5 to 6 times a week 30 min. a day, try yoga, meditate and eat healthy and get enough sleep. Eliminate as all stress that you can from your life. This drug just covers up the symptoms of a larger problem. The Technological system/society is a hostile environment that we all live in, and trying to adapt to it by taking mind altering drugs is a mistake. As soon as the time is right I am getting off of this drug and I will never take it again. | M | 29 | 1 days | 12/25/2007 | 5 | None | I have severe anxiety (Agorophbia) for 41 years from being druged at a party back in 1969, I'm now 58 years old. I've tried, hypnosis, books, head doctors, herbs, etc, don't waste your time or money on these things for many years, like I did. This is a REAL ILLNESS contrary to what people tell you. The doctors will give you some paxel or celexa and send you home to get rid of you. Unless you have this illness, nobody undestands. I'm not a pill popper and don't even take asperin unless absolutly necessary. After over forty years I had my doctor prescribe me Clonazepam and it has changed my world. I feel like I did back when I was fifteen before I was druged back in 1969. I use this stuff in moderation, and if by some chance I get addicted to it, so be it. This has completely changed my life. I feel like a normal person again. I will literally kiss Gods feet for finally waking up to this medication. If you have any of these phobia issue, I bet it will work for you too. Good Luck, | M | 58 | 2 days 1 MG 1X W | 3/7/2011 | 3 | Depression Anxiety Insomnia P/A | Feeling very lighted headed, severe drowsiness, my coordination has gone out the window completely until a couple hours after taking my 1 MG pill, at night this pill completely knocks me out. I'm so uncoordinated that I am afraid to drive now, I don't want to put others in danger on the road. | This drug has helped a great deal with my depression, insomnia, anxiety, and panic attack. I can tell when I need to take my next dose because my heart starts going fast and I begin to freak a little. The only problem is that I do not feel comfortable driving or going to class with the side effects I am experiencing. I am a college student and I have already missed my first lab because I was knocked out by this drug. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on dealing with the drowsiness??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at scorchado18gmail.com with anything you think might help me! Thanks! Steph | F | 19 | 2 days 1 MG 2X day | 5/13/2010 |
