| 2 | anxiety, grief issues, insomnia | This drug may seem like a miracle pill. It is not. You become dependent on it very quickly. | F | 59 | .5mg 4X day | 8/11/2014 Patient History | 1 | Anxiety disorder, insomnia | Anxiety (from tolerance withdraw), peripheral neuropathy (feet). Tapering off was very hard, even at this dose which my Dr. Called low. | M | 53 | 8 years .5 mg @bed | 8/10/2014 | 1 | Muscle Spasms, Anxiety | Anger, sleepiness, depression, binge eating, crying uncontrollably, fighting with people over nothing. URINARY RETENTION. Just misery. What a terrible drug. I'm withdrawing, and it takes forever to get out of your system. I haven't peed without a catheter in 2 days. I want my bladder control back!!! | POISON. PURE POISON. Worse than Valium. At least with Valium I felt good and could pee!!!! | F | 23 | 5 days 0.5 mg 3X day | 8/5/2014 | 1 | I wasnt my bf is | Hello my name is Lauren . My bf has been on and off klon for months he is prescribed 1 to 2 mg daily if needed . He thinks he needs a higher dosage so he usually takes 4\6 mg a day If not more . I have seen a horrible change in him since he's been taking these. From scary mood swings to violent behaviours he had never displayed before. He talks and nothing makes sense anymore. I strongly urge ppl to get off these immediately ive suffered from depression and anxiety for years I never once picked up a pill bottle to help ..I control my mind we all do. If anyone is out there that can help get through this hard time of withdrawals and set backs.please contact me . I dint know what to do anymore. | M | 23 | 3 months 1mg | 8/2/2014 | 5 | Anxiety | bit forgetful nothing major. | I think ppl talking about hitting wives etc is Abuse of the drug, what are u mixing it with lol? lets get real........ I'ts a good medication for panic attacks. knocks it on the head. | M | 40 | 5 months 0.5 1X day | 6/28/2014 | 5 | Panic disorder and seizures | None | M | 56 | 10 years 8 mg | 6/17/2014 | 1 | Presctibed with other meds. | Withdrawal was a nightmare. Suicidal thinking, nausea, confusion, memory trouble, hysteria, irritability, etc. I now have hyperthyroidism and I believe klonopin is to blame. | M | 52 | 2 years 2, then1 m | 6/17/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | My boyfriend began taking Clonazepam (Klonopin) for anxiety a week ago and after three days taking it he suddenly went crazy and beat me up and strangled me within an inch of my life, beat up my mother, destroyed a bunch of our stuff and furniture and tried to kill himself. And he doesn't remember any of it because he blacked out. Now he is facing felony assault and could go to jail for 20 years, and the state has threatened to take my kids away. WISH THE DOCTOR HAD TOLD US ABOUT THIS DRUG'S VIOLENT SIDE EFFECTS. It ruined our family! | M | 28 | 3 days 1 mg 1X day | 6/13/2014 | 5 | Anxiety/GAD/Panic Attack | Mild sexual side effects for a few days afterwards. | Very beneficial when used responsibly, this is my favorite benzo. Because I take other meds, I only use this as needed at once per week or less. When I'm having a lot of problems, it really takes the edge off for the whole day, allows me to relax and either read a book or play video games and lets me sleep really good. | M | 32 | 2 months 0.5 1X W | 6/12/2014 | 5 | anxiety and debilitating back spasm | Klonopin is a life saver for those it works well on. Most people want xanax (from the benzo family). Not me. The ONLY meds that keep me ALIVE are klonopin or valium, and a muscle relaxer. I cannot take painkillers because they make me sick, no other treatment or med WORKS like magic in my severe bank spasms/pain (caused by Dystonia and herniated discs, sciatica, nerve damage, a skull fracture, and severe whiplash and concussions). I KNOW all my injuries need are klonopin and a muscle relaxer. Continuously taken, steadily taken... But Medi-Cal and whatever put stupid nonsense rules on everything, I am only getting 1/4 of the meds I need, if that. I am literally in deadly pain, uncontrollable upper body spasms, panic, nightmares, etc. without the SIMPLE and SAFE and INEXPENSIVE meds. But damn Medi-Cal makes me jump through hoops... I hate them I can legally have these meds, yet I get stuck with doctors who got busted for something and can't prescribe crap. I am on SSI and that isn't much... I am ready to go to mexico and get my meds there. It is legal and I won't suffer because my own country is stupid regarding prescription meds. | F | 35 | 10 years 4mg/day | 6/8/2014 | 1 | Panic/Anxiety | Force Tapered! Withdrawals: Headaches/migraines everyday, memory loss, body feels rigid, muscle spasms, urinary frequency increased, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, almost everything is too bright and loud, depression, anger, aggression, irritability, agitation, INSOMNIA, de-realization, increased anxiety and panic, rage, pain, electric shock sensations, random lightheadedness, fatigue, etc.. Stay away from benzodiazepines in general! Please, this is the best advice you could get. Don't take this poison. | I hate this drug! I am a slave to it! I can probably never live without it, ever. I could never see that being an option. Force tapered 7 months ago from my 6mg/Daily dose of 5 f****** years to 3mg/Daily. Cut in half overnight. Game Over. I now feel permanently destroyed mentally and physically. I am still suffering withdrawals after seven months and have become completely useless for the entire time. This is a nightmare that never ends. I have just about lost my mind and have certainly lost my memory. I now seem to have the onset of Alzheimer's. I can barely remember anything anymore. I actually have a little notepad called "My Memory" to remember things and I forget to even write down what was thought at the time. This drug has ruined my life. It makes me quite sad and I horribly regret my decision to even goto a doctor and complain of anxiety and panic attacks. I do have anxiety and panic attacks, but I would rather deal with what it was before taking this medicine and avoid the triggers as much as possible than be a slave to this human wrecking ball in pill form. This is downright torture. I am partially to blame as I do have to take some negligence for not researching first before I realized I was prescribed to a massive dose. Doesn’t matter now and I'm dead inside because of this garbage. I wish I could meet the person who invented it so I could trade some of this pain. Stay away! You’ve been warned. | M | 29 | 5 years 2MG 3X day | 6/2/2014 | 5 | Sleep walking | Absolutely none | I don't sleep walk anymore, and I get a full restful nights sleep! Thank you Clonazepam! (: | F | 24 | 6 months 2 mg 1X day | 5/15/2014 | 1 | Adverse Reaction to another drug | Dependency and tolerance to its affects. Cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, muscle spasms, deep bone pain, depersonalization, derealization. Tapered off the drug and had severe withdrawal to the point of being completely dysfunctional. I tapered off the drug 2 years ago and 5 months off the drug I had to reinstate because the withdrawal symptoms were intolerable. I am now in my second taper which may take 2 or more years to complete per my doctor. I feel physically unwell every day due to the long term effects of this drug. I was never given informed consent nor did any doctor ever advise me to taper off the drug. I looked up benzos on the internet and found the "Ashton Manual" online and found out at last why I have been so ill. www.benzo.org.uk/manual | Drugs such as Klonopin (clonazepam) are in a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines (benzos) and are extremely addicting. They cause a part of the brain known as GABA receptors to become down-regulated and cause one of the longest, most intense, withdrawal of any drug known to man. Prescribing laws for benzodiazepines should be restricted to no longer than 2 weeks. These drugs have ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients. | F | 54 | 14 years 2 mg 1X day | 5/15/2014 | 4 | Insomnia | Leaves me feeling relaxed and a little loopy, which is a good thing so I can sleep. Some nights it doesn't work for me so I have to take double the dosage, though. Then I wake up feeling groggy the next morning. Overall, works well and better than Xanax. | F | 18 | 2 months 0.5 mg | 3/27/2014 | 5 | sleep disorder | 1mg. At night. Hmm, side effects. A great nights sleep, every night. Calmness and a sense of well being. Reduced overall anxiety. This drug, for me, does the job with not negative, but positive side effects! I will say though, if I forget to take it, I feel strange the next day, but nowhere near what others are talking about. Maybey its not the klonopin causing your problems. Sorry you have to deal with that. Am planning on taking for life. | M | 23 | 1 years 1mg | 3/24/2014 | 5 | Anxiety | No side effects. Horrible side effects from Lexapro, serequel, depakote | Very helpful, absolutely no side effects. | F | 75 | 18 years .5 1X day | 3/21/2014 | 3 | aniexty | Cough ,sick | M | 49 | 1 days .5 | 3/17/2014 | 5 | Anxiety depression | Bit forgetful, nothing major... | Changed my life, was housebound, Miserable anxiety ridden, panic attacks. This drug let me live again, drive again, shop again. The Naysayers on here are the Abusers of the medication i am bettering. I took at look at benzo buddies, its very Shady sounds like full of addicts. I'm sorry but use the medication as prescribed and you have a life again, least till something better comes along. I was very suicidal till this helped me. I take one a day and oh the joys of living again is indescribable. Please stop giving this type of medications bad names, look at other factors, your life instead of blaming a medication. | M | 40 | 6 months 0.5mg 1X day | 3/4/2014 | 4 | anxiety | Sleepiness | I take it at night, helps with sleep and I am less on edge all day long. Recommended. Does not render me in a zombie like state like Xanax did. | F | 29 | 2 years .5mg 1X day | 2/26/2014 | 5 | Anxiety | I have had ZERO side effects, I love this stuff! I used to tke it like a couple times a week, now maybe a couple every six months. It calms me down when feeling panicky. | F | 18 | 1 years .25 | 2/2/2014 |
