| 1 | Anxiety and intrusive thoughts | Stay away from benzodiazepines. I took .75mg for just four weeks. Worked amazing but when I stopped cold turkey after one month, I almost died. I ended up in 4 different Emergencies rooms where they kept giving me 2 mg and 2 mg again. The last hospital wanted to give me gain 2 mg. I refused and left shaking and went to my family doctor asking for Propanalol because my heart was pounding. My blood pressure indicated 180. Day after I ended up at CAMS in Toronto for three days. They stabilized me and I kept taking .5mg Klonopin for next week then tapper it for next month till zero. I had the worst withdrawals for one month. Depression, OCD, anxiety, numbness on my hands, tinnitus, bruises etc... I'm still suffering. Just got on Prozac 10mg starting dose. I think benzodiazepines are demonic. | F | 44 | 30 days 0.75 1X day | 8/28/2021 | 1 | anxiety | Worsening depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Crying spells, Suicidal thoughts. Drunk feeling. Insomnia. Tolerance withdrawal. | Prescribed for panic attacks/depression. It made my depression and anxiety worse and I became more suicidal. I was hospitalized. After taking this drug for a couple of months it started to make me feel drunk right after taking it - followed by intense restlessness, anxiety, feeling of doom, and suicidal thoughts. I developed a tolerance to this drug and was advised to increase the dosage. Instead, I trusted my instinct and tapered off the drug (way too fast) and learned coping skills. Research Heather Ashton Benzo manual and read Benzo Buddies website for help getting off benzodiazepines. Psychiatrists usually will not warn you about side effects and possible dependency that can develop. | F | 57 | 3 months .5 mg 2X day | 8/21/2021 | 1 | For panic disorder | Major GI issues in stomach, rage feelings, ringing ears anxiety, depression, loss of relationships, lonely, sadness, dermatitis, eye problems, twitching, sore muscles, confusion emotionally, frustration, fear, weird dreams, hallucinations, hear weird noises, destrucive thoughts and feelings of wanting to break things, alot of crying almost every day. | Just currently weaned off klonopin, was taking it 9 yrs n the nurse who prescribed didnt tell me it was addictive n i asked, they will lie n tell you its not n was to late, still experiencing horrible side effects, in bathroom every 5 mins, hard to eat n all the mental anguish you suffer while taking it n getting off it. Pls dont take this pill, you will regret it! Its really for people with seizures not panic attacks, these mental docs should get educated before giving this med to someone on a daily basis. Its only short term, do the research before taking any meds, wish i did at that time, now i do. Klonopin is highly addictive n very hard to get off it, the last 9 yrs have been a nightmare 😢. I only took it as prescribed n never abused it n you still go through alot of unnecessary BS. This pill should be off the market it only damages peoples brain n body n prescriptions are written to casually without real concern for the patient. I saw this website n it surprised me how many people were suffering with this same problems i am, so sry you all had to go through this also n seek out Gods wisdom for help, God Bless you all too! | F | 60 | 9 years 2 mgs dail 3X day | 8/19/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | sleepy/no energy Depression, No intrest in doing anything | Has any one gotten off klonopin safely I have bin trying for 3 years .The Drs had me on them for over 20 years I wish I had never started them in the fist place.

Your body becomes chemically dependent on this drug and you cannot get off without severe withdrawals. It causes suicidal depression. I know many people who have committed suicide while trying to get off this drug. Please don’t ever take it.

Withdrawal symptoms made me want to kill myself. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. its been over a year sense i discontinued my klonopin use, and i STILL get withdrawl symptoms. I throw up blood, shit out blood. I am always anxious and my confindence is way lower. | klonopin is pure evil. It makes you fall in love with it, then it breaks you. Literally. You cannot escape this drugs inevitable side effects. Withdrawling off of this drug is extremeley dangerous, i went for two weeks non stop shaking, puking, having anxiety attacks, breaking out on my face, hives, And now i have a gluten algergy. All from this medication. DO NOT TAKE KLONOPIN!!! SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE ITS TOO LATE........ | F | 18 | 8 months .5mg 3X day | 3/4/2016 | 3 | Poststroke anxiety and insomnia | Brain fog, lethargy, slurred speech, depression, confusion. | At first it helped me sleep, then it stopped. Made my aphasia worse. I was like a zombie, with a brain fog. | F | 68 | 6 months 0.8-0.9 MG | 2/26/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Depression awful you cry on this drug a lot, it messes also with your bowels..system. Keep clear its to potent for anxiety so is Xanax!!! | it never really solves anything just gives a slight mask feeling. Changes you also to someone you don't know anymore slowly. I havn't taken any today and am not going to now, screw it not worth it don't want to wake up in 10yrs and think why how when. The lady who took it for grieving why? you should grieve, its normal to have painful feelings society we dampen them to much | M | 47 | 1 years 0.5 1X day | 10/5/2015 | 1 | anxiety | severe anxiety, depression, insomnia, loss of interest in activities,loss of confidence | This and other benzos are CNS depressants, and their "good effects" last only a few weeks at most. It took me nearly a year to taper off this moderate dose, and about another 6 months to fully recover "pre-drug" levels of functioning. There is definitely hope.. but take it slow and be patient (the bad effects fade away, but last many weeks to months after final taper)... eat healthy and exercise (daily walks) for those wanting off this drug. I feel back to normal thankfully. | M | 56 | 6 months .05mg 1X day | 7/26/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Withdrawal like alcohol, shakes, shits stomach problems, depression | I would never have taken if I had known the side effects. Makes you sicker then you were, after long term use. Please don't use long term | F | 57 | 10 years 1mg | 7/13/2015 | 1 | insomnia | severe depression rebound anxiety vision problems GI tract symptoms irritability head pains suicidal thoughts urinary frequency IBS symptoms severe nightmares nausea joint pain visual disturbances vertigo joint pain tooth pain senses heightened including hearing touch . paranoia fear sense of going insane unreality feelings. visual auras tension | In My opinion all benzo diazepines should be outlawed. The symptoms are horrendous and its very addicting and nearly impossible to get off of. The symptoms of rebound and withdrawal are almost unbearable. This drug caused my depression to increase to the point in which I was suicidal and it created extreme anxiety on the rebound. When the dose wears off Your original symptoms return ten fold. I strongly urge anyone to avoid this type of drug . Avoid caffeine on this med and when tapering off. I have been off clonazepam for four months after so called short term and still going through horrific nightmares and other symptoms of dementia. I truly believe this drug has changed the physiology of My brain. My memory is really bad and I feel so tired all the time as I can no longer reach deep sleep stages. I wake tired and very soar and unrested. Avoid this and other benzodiazepines at all cost. Both My Doctor and pharmacist were inept regarding this drug. They told Me to just taking it and I did. I had seizure and almost died even at a low dose. | M | 61 | 0,5mg 2X day | 7/4/2015 | 1 | Nausea | Fatigue, foggy thinking, memory loss, lack of motivation, fear, depression, crying | I have been taking 1 mg for two years and have had a horrific time getting off of it. It depresses your nervous system and can cause de realization and addiction rather quickly. For the people saying that all of these "withdrawal" symptoms" must be something else or made up are probably going to be in for a rude awakening one day. Granted some people don't have withdrawals but many, many do and they are not pleasant. Stay away from this drug and benzos in general if you value your sanity. | F | 39 | 1 days 1mg | 6/19/2015 | 3 | Anxiety | I've felt more sad since I started taking this dose (2 days ago). At times I feel like crying, for no reason. It's feels like I'm switching my anxiety for sadness. | This has worked for my severe anxiety, but since raising the dose 2 days ago, I notice I'm much more sad. I hope this passes. | F | 31 | 2 days 0.5 mg 3X day | 2/11/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | drowsiness, depression, severe neuropathy, parkinsonism, back pain, arrhythmia. | I fight for last 5 years to get off clonazepan. This is not a medicine, it's a poison. Should be forbidden. | M | 63 | 9 years 1 MG 1X day | 11/20/2014 | 1 | insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks | Headache, nausea, insomnia, stomach pain, RLS, no appetite, irregular heart beat, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, blood pressure problems etc, etc, etc Terrible withdrawal! | This medication will make almost anyone feel great for a short time. The problem is when you HAVE to or WANT to stop. It is a terrible withdrawal to deal with. I strongly recommend NOT starting this medication unless you understand you will probably have to increase your dosage eventually/quickly to achieve the effect it is prescribed for and eventually you will have to stop taking it. Withdrawal is Hell and strongly outweighs any good this medication did for me in the beginning. It will take me months to slowly taper off and my head may never be the same again. Just trying to be honest and give someone a fair warning. Wish someone had warned me. God bless and good luck..... | M | 45 | 2 years 1 MG 2X day | 11/18/2014 |
