 5  Akathisia No side effects at all. Took away the anxiety, and nervousness in a very short amount of time. Lasts much longer than Xanax. I am very sensitive to medication, and had a bad side effect from Prevacid, and Zoloft. I went off both meds, but anxiety, restlessness, and panic attacks remained. Went off all meds except Clonazepam. Now I feel great, and can sleep well. I took this before with a similar problem with a medication, and I was on it for a few months, and had absolutely no problem dosing down. This is one of the very few medications that I do not have a problem with. F 53 1 months

 1  Chronic anxiety disorder Yes, this medication works. It works very well for chronic anxiety disorder and sudden onsets of severe panic attacks. Knowing what I know now, I wish with all my being it had never ever been prescribed to me, and without the absurd nonchalance dozens of practitioners have portrayed. I'm 32 and have been prescribed clonazopam for 14 years. Ive been in situations where my health insurance is in transition and I must go off the medication abruptly-- this is when I realized how deep I was. Weeks upon weeks of non stop physical, emotional, and psychological withdrawal effects that are like hell. Words cannot accurately describe just how awful it is. This, again, has been my experience during withdrawal as a long term clonazopam patient. All skin, especially the face, becomes numb. Vision gets fuzzy and difficult to see clearly. Panic attacks become extremely exasperated, frequent and debilitating. Severe irritability. Worst of all: a terrifying disconnection between your mind and body; as if you're an onlooker watching and feeling this horrible thing happen to you, but not actually feeling connected to any of it-- that one is tough to explain. All of this... It can lasts months, maybe more. That's right. Not just some one week hump to overcome. After finding how awful the withdrawal is I've been attempting to ween very very slowly down from 3 2mg doses per day to eventually zero, hopefully. After six months of gradually decreases in dose I'm now at 2- 1mg doses per day and I'm not sure how or if I can go much less than that. No doctors I've had have been of any help. The ween down was my idea and the rate of it was also my idea based on experience. It sure would be nice to meet a doctor that truly had knowledge of this withdrawal syndrome and took it a bit more seriously. I am confident that the medication is no longer treating my anxiety disorder, but simply preventing withdrawal from the meds themselves. And there don't seem to be any good alternatives. It's a long road ahead, please think it over and over with someone knowledgeable before being so quick to embrace this miracle drug. The truth is that most of us ac F 32 10 years

 1  Anxiety and PTSD Itching, Very sleepy , Hallucinations, I thought I was okay but now I just want to stay in the house, I don't care about anything . I keep thinking my mom is in the other room but she has been gone almost 20 years. Woke up this morning wasn't sure where I was. I'm really scared of this med now but dr said to stay on it. Never understood when people said they felt like zombies but that is what I feel. I also have the feeling I can take more, didn't have that when I took xanax. Memory is iffy. F 66 4 months

 5  Depression and Anxiety None I am so thankful that I listened to my MD to take this in tandem with Mirtazapine (Rememron). I have had ZERO side effects and I'm not burning in benzo hell as some would have you believe. It relaxes me for sleeping and works very well for deep anxiety. Make sure you give it time. I've also been able to taper down fairly easily as needed. M 51 4 months

 5  anxiety for a benzo it has very little to no side effects. was used to remove me from Xanax. I noticed no transition switching cold turkey and actually felt better. Klonopin is a great benzo having taken several that had terrible side effects. it is a very mild drug and really works so well you don't notice it. Unlike Xanax I haven't had to up my dosage every 6 months. M 43 10 months

 4  Neck Tremor Mostly off-balance feeling when I first started along with joint aches. After months of taking it I don't have any side effects, It does reduce my neck tremor so I'm happy with the medication. It doesn't work 100 percent but its close. If I don't take the medication for a few days to take a break from it I will then feel dizzy or like I'm off balance when walking along with a heavy spacy head. Once I take the meds again I'm fine.

 5  Anxiety disorder A bit of depression but it is corespondent to a few minute after taking a dose Sleepiness some sedation. Never gave me trouble side effects are mostly the target outcome of the medication the benzodiazepine is not fat soluble, I had a terrible reaction to Valium, which is fat soluble. This may make a difference for someone else too who knows F 31 9 years

 3  Anxiety and unable to sleep Tired, no energy, headache and itching and headache at higher dose, skin stings as in hurts like aches and pains in the body sometimes, and horrible cold and hot sweats also hard to eat at times like a full feeling, UTI that I have never had and lots of ear infections and memory issues most of the side effects started the longer I was on it. It also no longer helps me sleep unless I go way up and sorry i'm just not doing that. If you don't have to take these drugs for something very serious then I would subject not talking them at all as it can and it will eventually ruin you life. At first this worked great and I was very relaxed, and was able to sleep like a baby however, I slowly started to feel like I didn't want to do anything but stay home and started to neglect the things I needed to accomplish during the day. I wish I never started it as this drug creeps up on your system very slow and before you realize it if you do at all that is as it kind of gives you a I don't give a care feeling. I took myself down off of it slowly as I was put on it 3 times a day at .05 and then I went down on it to 10 with in 6 months as I stated to see thanks to my kids that I had no energy at all and no desire to do anything. so stayed on this for a long time then in the last year have gone up and down on it for 10 to .05 and now staying at .05 and doing my best to get off of it!! You might say I lost my zest for life!! F 54 3 years

 1  Depression Anxiety Do not take this medication. I was taking it. I had to much going dealing with death back to back was involved in 2 tornados. Its suppose to be similar to xanax but it is not. This more for seizures. I would not recommend it. This will kill you. Clonazepam is the worst on the market. If you wants to live dont take it. The medication will have you like a zombie F 44 6 months

 5  TRAUMA & OCD Was worried about taking it, as i was concerned that i would feel out of control/odd. I have had NO side effects at all. So far it's really helped me manage my anxiety, taken the edge off, which has helped me apply some CBT tech's. I am very worried about addiction, but to be honest, living your life in constant panic attacks,to the point you have no quality of life- well it's a risk i am willing to take. I strongly advise seeking CBT therapy too though :) F 38 7 days

 4  anxiety, insomnia memory loss It calms me down and helps me sleep. I know benzos are not supposed to be used long term but I have chronic ongoing anxiety and clonazepam is the only thing that ever worked for me. After many years though I do think it's affecting my memory and makes me feel a little bit foggy all the time. F 26 8 years
