 4  anxiety some drowsiness at times, memory loss, lack of motivation on occasion. I have been suffering panic attacks since a teen and have been prescribed ativan,zanex,alprazalam and others with little help. I use 1mg.3x daily and use only 2mg. as much as possible. If there was anything natural I could use to relieve my suffering I would. I ran a healthfood store for several years and have researched and tried natural remedies to no avail. most likely because I have used prescription meds. for 20 years plus. I am thankful for this medication all though, if I could go back in time, I would never have used prescribed meds for my anxiety. What I have found over time is a kind of numbness that comes with anti anxiety meds. What bothers me most is it does interfere with my spirituality. It is hard to explain but, the numbness does take away a part of me that I miss. To those of you looking to use clonazapam, I would like to encourage you to consider healthier alternatives. Breathing exercises, yoga, hypnotherapy etc. I use these in conjunction with the my med. My life F 42 7 years

 3  Social Anxiety Difficulty waking up in the morning. Noticed intensified effects of alcohol, but only after drinking excessively. Possibly slightly blurred vision. I take this with Adderall. Not sure yet how well it works for anxiety. Paxil made me extremely drowsy and caused loss of libido, which Clonazepam doesn't do, but with Paxil I felt more outgoing than with Clonazepam. I feel less social anxiety with Clonazepam, but it's still there. M 28 1 months

 5  myoclonic tremors My 15 month old daughter was prescribed this medication to help control her myoclonic tremors which were non siezure in nature. We have seen a resolution of the frequency and severity of her tremors. As a side effect we have seen an improvement in her tone which is general high (or stiff) but we have also had some drowsiness to work through while getting up to her dose which is 0.25mg/day. We are pleased with the results and relative few side effects we have experienced with this drug. We have also learned that it is a drug which has been around the block for a while and much is known about long term use as well as long term side effects. F 1 10 days

 1  panic attacks Right after taking my medication (.5mg every 6 hours), I am in a deeeeeeep sleep. My coordination is way off, and I feel almost like I have no arms. All my movements seem very slow. My speech is a little slurred. I have no will to do anything. I am taking the drug because of a traumatic experience at work which caused me to suffer panic attacks. I was originally prescribed Lexapro which did no good whatsoever. I have had nothing to eat all day, but I am not hungry. This is the only pill I take. I don't like taking meds. This medication makes me feel like "not me" and I do not like it at all. But if it will help me get into the building where I work without suffering a panic attack...But will I be able to perform my duties? I doubt it...I don't know how I will get to work, because I certainly cannot drive! At this point, I will have to give the med a 1 due to the side effects I have experienced. F 53 2 days

 5  Social Anxiety Tiredness, a little out of it during the day. First drug out of 15 or so I have tried that actually made a difference. The small side effects are worth the control over my anxiety. M 26 2 months

 5  anxiety A little tired but nothing really bad I love it BUT do not take it with alcohol. It makes every drink feel like 5. I took one the other day when I was not expecting to drink but ended up have a couple beers. I slept really well that night but it's not advisable for sure. I take .5 mg on occasion when I an feeling really stressed. I also sometimes take it in combination with a short acting adderrall as it takes some of the edge away from the adderrall. I do this only when I study to remain focussed and my Dr. said it was fine. M 29 3 months

 5  panic attacks-anxiety-restless legs a little weight gain, made me sleepy, but that side effect went away after a few weeks. very vivid dreams, also went away in a few weeks. started taking for extreme anxiety and panic attacks, and it helped very very much. a little suprise i found with this medicine, is that it also helps get rid of my restless legs syndrome at night. anxiety and panic almost completely gone, now i take it (sometimes) b4 bed to get rid of the RLS. wonderful medicine. just becareful it can be addictive. when i stoped the daily treatment for anxiety, i had slight withdrawls, like headache and crave for it. those went away after like a week or so.

 5  anxiety None Very anxious persion, anxiety lead to many sleepless nights, difficult to concentrate at work, relationship issues, etc. Type A personality, nice polite person, but when anxious, bite the head off of anyone. Family, friends, coworkers all noticed an immediate turnaround. 5mg 2-3 once daily a week does wonders to keep me relaxed, no addition issues with that dose. Replaced many other drugs that I had been taking due to side effects of a very anxious personality. M 35 2 years

 5  anxiety None This is the only medication that has wiped out all of my anxiety. I only take it as needed maybe once or twice a week. I have tried Lexapro, but it only worked a little. I would highly recomend this drug if you are experiencing anxiety that is interfering with you life. M 40 1 months

 4  Anxiety/depression Dizzyness, Loss of Balance, Drowsiness Taking 2 mg daily w/ 150mg Effexor XR. I have yet to experience any dependency with this drug, I go on streaks where I take it for a few weeks but then forget for several days. It's not like the Effexor where I panic if I know I might be more than 24 hours without a dose. The combination seems to be working allright. Things are certainly better than they used to be.

 4  Anxiety Attacks memory loss, weight loss (20lbs), loss of balance, restless leg syndrome, fatigue, clogged ears, mild respiratory infection Tried Xanax briefly, and Ativan which I hated. I felt better instantly on Klonpin. Though I believe it to be addictive, and I certainly wat off. Ive gone from 1mg per day to .5 a day, and remain faily stable for the most part. An attempt to go to .25 hasnt worked well for me just yet, and I just visited the hospital last week because the Klonopin couldnt get my heart rate down. Clearly I have some work to do in therapy, so I can manage these attacks on my own and without having Klonopin in my bag. I SO look forward to that day. Anyone know how helpful meditation/spirituality is? F 34 7 months
