| 1 | anxiety, PTSD | None | Klonopin is a benzodiazepine. The long-term withdrawal effects are horrendous, even for some people who have taken it for a very short period of time. You can quickly build up tolerance, with a need to increase dosage. Do not take this drug! | F | 56 | 7 years 0.5 mg 2X day | 1/14/2012 | 1 | anxiety | Like you dont exist. | Horrible ! I felt like a drone. Worst of the worst medications for anxiety. Dont even try being 10 minutes late taking your dose either or your brain feels like its dying of thirst or something. | F | 25 | 1 months 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 2 | Anxiety | F | 21 | 4 years 1 MG 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | anxiety, depression, panic attacks | I was prescribed this medication mainly for my depression, however it seemed to have a reverse effect on me. I became so depressed that i began cutting my arm up with a knife. I had never cut myself before taking this medicine and have not done so since I stopped taking it. I believe this to be a very dangerous drug, it scares me to see my scars and know that I could have killed myself. | My sister was also prescribed this same medication for her depression, it was crazy because even though we were not even in the same house we both had the same reactions on the very same night. My sister also cut her wrist very badly almost killing herself. My mom almost lost both her daughters on the very same night all because of klonopin! | F | 21 | 5 days 0.5 mg 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 5 | Panic Disorder | At first I felt a little clumsy and very lethargic, especially in the morning. Now I'm tired sometimes and it's a little hard to get out of bed, but so much better than how I was before. | This drug has been like a miracle for me. I had a recurrence of panic attacks after not having them for 25 years. I was so dizzy I felt that I couldn't drive and function. I almost quit my job, but my doctor tried this and it's been so much better than expected. I don't feel drugged. I take a surprisingly small dose, just 1/8 of a mg twice a day, but it's helped me function whereas I felt on the verge of not being able to before. I'm in cognitive therapy to deal with the anxiety, but this drug has been the extra boost I needed to stay involved in life and not become agoraphobic or unable to drive. | F | 61 | 4 weeks ,125 mg 2X day | 9/25/2010 | 4 | derealisation | no effects | not dangerous drug except withdrawal syndrome | M | 31 | 4 days | 2/16/2009 | 1 | seizures | BRAIN DAMAGE! destroyed my memory and cognitive abilities. My IQ was up in the genius range. Now I have trouble making a grocery list. Also caused severe GI problems, including GERD. Hormonal problems. Irregular heartbeats and chest pains. Trouble breathing. Depression. Personality changes. Hellish withdrawal when you try to stop. | This drug should be banned. It ruins lives--seriously. When you first take it, you become a zombie and so you don't notice that's it's changing you, wrecking your brain, altering your personality. by the time you figure it out, you are unwittingly addicted, but when you try to quit you find withdrawal is the WORST TORTURE ever experienced. I spent months vomiting all day, having panic attacks, dizzy, cramps, painful "electric" zaps in my feet (that's from the nerve damage this junk causes, btw). I'm no wimp--but I had to taper for 2 years to get off this stuff, and now that I'm completely off, I'm still having horrendous withdrawal symtoms months later. I know I sound a bit crazed, but trust me, there is no way to be calm in explaining just how harmful this drug (and all benzos) are. Please protect yourself. | 36 | 2.5 years | 2/15/2009 | 2 | anxiety, panic attacks | i am feeling drowsy all the time and very lethargic, i am having problems getting motivated and performing sexually, have gained weight(which might also be due to the harsh winter) and ironically am having trouble sleeping at night, i feel like everything is a big effort | helped with my panic attacks, but as my body got more accustomed i feel i needed to increase the dosage...have tried to stop taking but the panic restarted..when i did come off of it for like 10 days i had bad headaches but my sexual life was much better..now i am back on it and feel i am having a really bad time overall..except i am able to get through work more comfortably..i am a teacher | M | 38 | 4 months | 2/2/2009 | 4 | Unspecified mood disorder | Drowsiness, especially at night, feeling peaceful, calmness | This medicine has really helped me with stabilizing my mood. I take .5mg of it twice a day along with 20mg of Geodon twice a day, 36mg of Concerta in the morning, and 20mg of Inderal up to three times a day. | F | 17 | 1 years | 7/28/2008 | 5 | stress disorder | none | even @ taking 1mg every 6 hours or so, I still feel as if I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown at times. Most days it works wonders though! | F | 31 | 1 weeks | 7/7/2008 | 1 | loss of short term memory. Disoriantation every where I went. Thoughts of suicide. Difficult in writing and signing my name. Cannot hold a conversation as my speech has slowed down and in addition cannot focus on conversation. | M | 74 | | 3/29/2008 | 3 | depersonalization/anxiety | @.25 mg per day: definite loss of "pep" and mental clarity, some mild loss of motivation, some memory problems and brain fog, some confusion and disorientation | certainly tones down unpleasant emotions, and has been helpful with depersonalization, but it's more like a band aid then anything greatly therapeutic...i've found that vitamins work better for my condition, and only take a little klonopin here and there to fill in any blanks the vitamins leave | M | 33 | 2 months | 3/2/2008 | 3 | Depression and Anxiety | Headaches, very tired and drousy | I'm not one for anti depressants but when I started having severe anxiety and depression I decided to take 1 0.5mgs of the generic brand of Klonopin. I felt very tired, dizzy and had light headaches but the anxiety went away. I felt a sigh of relief (probably because I became so tired). I slept extremly well that night and the next night too. One thing I have to say is this drug is highly addictive so be extremly careful. I have never been an addict nor will I be but I believe there is some addictive chemical in this medicine just like cigerettes. So please be extremly careful and only take on dire need. | F | 22 | 1 days | 2/21/2008 | 5 | Panic attacks and Nerve pain | Just tired, Dry Mouth | have not had a panic attack since they put me on this for nerve pain after failed back surgery 16 months ago..I was Ativan for 2 years and I still had attacks, after back surgery they used valium and it did nothing then they put me on Klonopin and it helps the nerve pain some but its amazing on the painc attacks...I have no fear of one anymore even.... | F | 47 | 7 months | 11/26/2007 | 1 | Panic Disorder | Fatigue, complete loss of motivation, irritability, heartburn, weakness, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, memory problems, clumsiness. I was taking 0.5mg once daily at bedtime. | I stopped taking this medication because of the side effects and began having horrible withdrawals: Uncontrollable shaking, disorientation, memory loss, headache, blurred vision, sensations such as the ground shaking/moving, muscle cramps, trouble sleeping, extreme sensitivity to sounds and movements, extreme weakness. Basically, I could hardly function for a week and a half after quitting. I would not recommend this medication as it is not worth all the side effects and is highly addictive even at low doses. Physicians need more information before prescribing these types of drugs and I would also suggest patients do their homework before starting benzodiazepines. I sure wish I would have. | F | 29 | 5 months | 10/2/2007 | 5 | | 9/27/2007 | 1 | to taper off ativan | It made me worse. I gotterrible muscle pains in my back, iregular heartbeats, felt manic and brought on depression. | M | 51 | 16 days | 8/31/2007 | 1 | stress relief from chronic illness | HAIR LOSS! I've got long hair that is fine and it has become incredibly thin while taking this pill. I'm hoping since I've stopped taking it, the hair loss will reverse. Why didn't my doctor warn me of this side effect???? Oh yeah, and it caused depression. | I typically took between .25 and .75 mg a day off/on for about 4 months. It did not do anything for my stress levels, but it did knock me out at night. I'm switching to trazodone after this horrible hair loss experience. | F | 30 | 4 months | 7/17/2007 | 1 | For sleeping | It made me progressively more incapacitated over a 7 year period until I could hardly get out of bed. If I had not tapered off the drug, I would not have known that it was NOT my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome just getting worse. | This drug shuld not be taken long term. Google the *Ashton Manual* and read about Klonopin. Xamax, Valium, and all the bad benzos. | F | 50 | 7 years | 7/14/2007 | 5 | SOCIAL ANXIETY | none | Klonopin has helped me so much. Like the person above taking it for social anxiety, I too wished I had been able (afford a doctor) to take this earlier in my life. Before I would be nervous about meeting new people, my fork would shake when trying to eat in front of people that were not family(eventhough I was not nervous), I didn't go to a high school prom (i was asked) i was too shy and didn't want to have to deal with the anxiety, same goes for dates. In college, I would panic if the teacher just wanted me to read out of the book, much less speak in front of the class. One time I just couldn't bare having to wait for my turn to give my opinion on a book we read, I just got up and left. These are only a few examples of what social anxiety has done to me. It started probably in junior high and only got worse. If I had taken this earler, my life would of been a lot easier. But finally at 27 I went to the doctor and was prescribed it. Now I am in my last year of school, I am gettin | F | 31 | 5 days | 7/2/2007 |
