| 5 | TRAUMA & OCD | Was worried about taking it, as i was concerned that i would feel out of control/odd. I have had NO side effects at all. | So far it's really helped me manage my anxiety, taken the edge off, which has helped me apply some CBT tech's. I am very worried about addiction, but to be honest, living your life in constant panic attacks,to the point you have no quality of life- well it's a risk i am willing to take. I strongly advise seeking CBT therapy too though :) | F | 38 | 7 days 0.25mg 2X day | 8/23/2015 | 3 | anxiety/panic/some ocd | My ability to focus/remember things is very impaired. It's frightening. B.S. Degree/attended law school when younger...no problem with memory. Now, I forget constantly about what I was doing when I enter a different room or if my husband talks to me. I don't know what to do. | I take Effexor in addition to the clonozepam. I wonder if my memory is made worse because of both drugs. Tapering off either of them has not been possible. | F | 42 | 4 years | 11/26/2007 | 5 | Anxiety, some OCD symptoms | Sleepiness of course (gradually went away), if i take it too late i'll be drowsy the next morning and have trouble getting up | I took this along with wellbutrin XL, which might account for why I didn't have as many sleepy side effects during the day. After a few weeks of steady 1 mg/day doses, it was truly a miraculous help for my OCD symptoms and generalized anxiety. My obsessions are virtually gone and I'm able to function and focus again. My only concern is building a tolerance to the effects, since I know that's what eventually happens. | F | 24 | 4 months | 10/17/2007 | 5 | anxiety/panic/ocd | lightheaded/slight euphoria/loss of appetite/sleepy | I've taken almost every anti-anxiety/anti-depressant on the market. Clonazepam is the only one that takes the edge off without making me feel like a fat drone. I was off of it for 2 months recently and felt like I would lose my mind. Unable to work, concentrate, sleep or stop crying. Addicted? Probably, but I feel that term is overused/misunderstood- anxiety & ocd are medical problems- would a diabetic be made to feel addicted to insulin? I'd rather take it than live a life not worth living. | F | 32 | 7 days | 9/6/2007 | 5 | OCD | This drug has been a God send when having to battle chronic OCD/anxiety that has threatened to rule my life. Efexor is the only antidepressant to help my depression. I have tried all (and I literally do mean 'ALL' other anti depressants/combo's, etc over the years). I feel extremely condident when I take clonazepam but I always pay for it later on. Apart from the tiredness, memory loss an hour afterwards I get horrible cravings for cigarettes and alcohol. I don't drink or smoke normally. Although it has been a wonder drug for my OCD (I've had it since I was 6). I really want to get off Clonazepam or replace it with something else (I've tried Xanax but to no avail). If anyone else out there has 'cravings' for alcohol, cigarettes I would grately appreciate it if they could email me their experiences. Many thanks | I take between 2-6mg a day, depending on how bad my OCD is on the day. Also I would never have got through Uni (despite side effects) without it. | M | 39 | 17 days | 1/31/2006 |
