| 1 | Anxiety | After 5 years use start to give me paradoxical effects ..Now im living the hell.My life is gone... | M | 37 | 5 years 0.5 3X day | 9/6/2023 | 1 | Anxiety | The worst..it makes u feel good but when it wears off anxiety and deoression and ocd kicked in hard! Worse then before the meds!! I wish i never started taking it...should be taken for two weeks the most!! Beware!!! | M | 52 | 30 days .05 1X day | 5/27/2022 | 1 | Anxiety/Depression | All of the above and more! No way to describe how debilitated and nonfunctional they render you. I would be better off dead, but that isn't an option for me. I wish it was. I lost everything I had. | Sue Them All. | F | 65 | 14 years 3X day | 2/12/2022 | 1 | Panic | Impaired judgement, paranoia, fatigue, muscle loss, long lasting miserable withdrawal. | Klonopin destroyed my life and damaged my whole family especially my young daughters. It was given to me for panic to take as needed. It does calm you quickly but at the highest price. Very real side effects include paranoia, fatigue, confusion, and impaired judgement. I made several terrible terrible business decisions while taking it. But the worst side effects come when you stop it. For me zero sleep insomnia, chest pain, fatigue, muscle loss, emotional emptiness, and SUICIDAL thoughts/acts that go on and on. It has been four months since my last dose and all I do is lay in bed. My body is mush. My daughters are watching their once vibrant dad erode to nothing and I am helpless. | M | 48 | 10 months .5 1X W | 12/6/2021 | 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. I do know they have helped at first But I was never told they were also very additive. And they do help a lot of people Dr. tried taper to fast had to go back on them. I have tried very slow taper for 3 years can only get down to average of 0.5 MG. of 2 -21/2 per day. Some one said ask for valium to taper But DR. will not give any. Any advice please let me know. I would really like to back the land of living at my age before it is to late Any advice please Email me Thank you, | M | 67 | 10 years 0.5 4X day | 2/7/2021 | 1 | To calm Abilify negative effects. | Withdrawing from this HORRIFIC drug produced endless symptoms. Despite a slow taper using a valium compound liquid, I have been severely ill for 17 months so far. | Benzo drugs like Klonopin were totally banned from legal use in the 70's. For a reason. Benzos become addictive in a matter of weeks. MY doctor had me on them for 8 months. I wasn't WARNED at all about the worse than hellish and often life threatening list of symptoms that WITHDRAWAL would produce. I HAVE BEEN TAPERING OFF FOR 17 months. Tremors, diaherea, vomiting, headaches, heat and chills, burning eyes and mouth, aching muscles, aching jaws and face --- all of these I suffer daily and non-stop. I don't know why or how I'm still alive. DO NOT TAKE KLONOPIN. PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT take ANY Benzodiazepine drugs. E V E R. No one was there to warn ME. I am warning YOU. It will take another 4 months before I'm off the valium. I don't know if I'll survive this. I'm hoping with all my heart, that you will heed this advice. Benzos are a DEADLY group of drugs. Your doctor will likely NOT warn you. MY doctor suggested I just remain on the Klonopin forever (even tho I didn't need it) so I wouldn't have to go through the withdrawal anymore. WHAT?! These drugs steal away your family, your job, your whole LIFE. I hope and pray I will live through this. JUST AVOID BENZO DRUGS ALTOGETHER IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR LIFE. STAY AWAY. | F | 61 | 8 months 6 mgs/day 2X day | 12/27/2020 | 1 | Anxiety | Took as needed . Felt terrible now have withdrawal symptoms severe . Do not take please . Makes you feel horrible after a while. I lost everything and cant function now. Please dont. | M | 43 | 0 days Prn 1X day | 10/29/2020 | 1 | Anxiety | Depression, depersonalization, suicidal thoughts, confusion, hallucinations | I was given this for postpartum anxiety. Terrible. I've been trying to come off it and it's hell. I can make it to about day 2 then the sweating, shaking and puking begins. | F | 41 | 6 months 0.5 2X day | 7/22/2020 | 1 | High blood pressure/ anxiety | At first it was mild memory loss, a bit of apathy. After taking it AS PRESCRIBED for a few years I noticed something was not right with me. Once i determined it was my prescription I began my 24 month journey to hell. | Worst mistake I have ever made. | M | 51 | 7 years | 11/19/2019 | 1 | My mother is taking it for anxiety | My mother is not making sense and doing strange things. Shes been babbling on about nothing and she doesnt know the difference between her delusion and reality. | Can someone suggest something because this isnt normal behavior. | F | 59 | 2 days 1mg 2x a d | 11/10/2019 | 1 | Anxiety Disorder | I started taking benzodiazepines at the age of 13 due to the side effects of an antidepressant I was placed on. Ativan, Xanax, Valium & now Klonopin. I asked that I be weaned off not knowing the horrors ahead. For the next year I dealt with terror upon wakening, not being able to hold a conversation or concentrate when people spoke, inability to hold down a job, MUSCLE/NERVE pain, paranoia/delusions that ppl were talking about me, constant ear ringing, disinterest in social activities. I ended up in a psych ward was reinstated & haven’t been the same since. I had an MRI done & they discovered several deficits in my frontal lobes as well as other parts of my brain—that are most likely related to the drugS. I can’t even read a book now & I was an avid reader. This stuff will lower your IQ. | F | 32 | 0 years 0.5 | 10/29/2019 | 1 | Anxiety | Ruined my life for five years. Hell on earth withdrawal. | M | 27 | 21 days 1.5 | 6/13/2019 | 1 | Anxiety | Don’t ever take it. Or any benzo Benzos have ruined my life! I have been suffering TORTUROUS withdrawal symptoms for years. Stole my 30’s. HORRIFIC mental and physical side effects when u try to cut down or stop | LIVING NIGHTMARE | F | 39 | 18 years | 4/12/2019 | 1 | Panic attacks | This drug has destroyed me. I can no longer work nor function. No doctor will help me get off. Please stay away. 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. I’ve lost my focus, concentration, organizational skills, cognitive skills- trying to wean off slowly. It has ruined my life. Makes me numb, apathetic and fatigued. Awful awful awful drug. Wish I never started it. | Stay away!!! | 53 | 5 years 4mg | 3/31/2019 | 1 | Panic attack | Very addictive | Stay away from Benzos. You get hooked on them before you know it. Benzo will help you at first but destroy you in the end. Read what Stevie Nicks warns people about Klonopin. She said it destroyed her life for 8 years and I can testify that she is telling the truth. I had to go to rehab to get off it and my withdrawal symptoms we're worse than heroin addicts. People write good reviews when they are taking the drug but don't realize the hellish withdrawal symptoms when you are taken off it. You will rue the day you ever took your first pill. This is a drug from hell. | M | 46 | 8 years 4 Mg | 8/4/2018 | 1 | ptsd | Brain fog, dehydration, extreme dry mouth, persistent sleepiness/drowsiness. It can destroy your memory. | It's been called "The Velvet Hammer". It took me 2 years of medically supervised "cold turkey" withdrawal. Withdrawal side affects are an on-going NIGHTMARE. | F | 55 | 4 days .5 3X day | 2/23/2018 | 1 | Insomnia | Severe gi issues, body wide pain, depression, circulation issues, agitation, restlessness, paranoia, pots, allergies, intrusive thoughts, respiratory depression, chronic infections | This drug turned on me severely destroying my life and health, took it for insomnia now my biggest nightmare trying to get off this rat poison feeling like death every single day severely debilitated. I had a wonderful life until this drug turned so badly on me from all the damage it caused to every system in my body. Not even sure how i am going to survive this. | F | 45 | 6 days 2mg | 10/12/2017 |
