| 5 | To help lower blood pressure anxiet | No problems | They work to keep me calm and lower my blood pressure level. | F | 57 | 2 years 1mg 3 xday | 8/6/2015 | 5 | panic attacks and anxiety | none | It makes me feel calm and takes away the head pressure. | F | 61 | 20 years 1 mg 3X day | 7/28/2015 | 4 | Anxiety | Irritability | F | 7 days 2mg | 7/28/2015 | 5 | Anxiety and trauma | I don't have negative side effects. I don't even feel it. It just prevents severe anxiety and panic attracts-Never upped the dose in 7 years. It gave me my life back | My motto is "If you feel euphoria or high, you don't need it! And that goes for all medications. The point is: Are you just getting relief? If it's yes. It's working with not against your body chemistry. To balance it. And, I don't count pills, look forward to dose- sometimes I forget and that means, I take less. Yet, I have found that taking your 1 mg dose will preempt a panic attack. If you WAIT it doesn't work nearly as well. This saved my life | F | 48 | 7 years 3-4 mg | 7/13/2015 | 4 | severe anxiety | I was on it once before and my husband said he saw a change in me. For the better. I didn't feel it. So I switched to two other medicines the last being valvalume.I have since switched back to clonazepam. | F | 52 | 3 days 1mg 2X a d | 5/15/2015 | 5 | pelvic floor dysfunction and anxiet | 4 klon takes my feelings of urinary urgency away as the feelings originate in the pelvic floor. I feel relaxed and happy. | F | 42 | 4 months 2 mg 1X day | 5/10/2015 | 4 | anxiety | At first, I did not experience any side effects that I knew of. I had not read about the side effects. I have inherited arthritis and I've had two back surgeries on my lower back. My knees often hurt and occasionally my ankles but I credited all off that to getting older. Boy, was I wrong. I just had a good friend die recently, I am in the process of selling things and getting ready to move, and I'm doing a lot of work which hurts my back, plus I have allergies.I was taking a couple more pills than I should have because of the stress,but when I was taking it before it seemed pretty mild. It is not! It took me about 3 days to figure out why I was walking like a 95 year old woman, My ankles hurt severely, and my entire body had aches and pains. Then I looked up the side effects for the very first time. I could not believe it. I suffered from every single side effect. I cut down my dose immediately, and already the next day half of the pain was gone.I am almost hopeful that my back is going to start feeling better, because after two surgeries it still gave me problems. Side effects include muscle aches and joint pain. As soon as I taper off, I will never take this again. | F | 58 | 1 years .05 x 3 | 5/6/2015 | 5 | anxiety and panic attacks | Drowsiness | One .5mg pill before bedtime helps prevent ongoing severe anxiety throughout the day. I also sleep better and don't wake up with my heart pounding like I used to. | F | 46 | 1 weeks .5mg | 4/13/2015 | 4 | anxiety | Nausea headache blurred vision | This medicine is greatly helpful it reduce my anxiety level astonishly it reduce also suicidal thought & also finish cutting your hand and wrist with blade.... | M | 20 | 10 times .25 | 4/7/2015 | 5 | panic attacks | none | This is the only medication I have tried that completely and immediately eliminated my panic attacks. Once they were gone, they never came back either. I was able to stop taking clonazepam. I did a gradual dose reduction and the symptoms weren't too severe (some anxiety, pounding heart, dizziness) but did last quite a while (a few months, don't remember). | M | 35 | 6 months 0.5mg 3X day | 4/4/2015 | 5 | for severe anxiety,seizures | I tried to tell you i have been on them for 21 years,im 65 yrs old they work great,no side affects my daughter is RN.,says mom you need these,don't try to go off i dont plan to,they work good for me!!) | Everyone is different,i know alot of people who claim to say they work wonders for them,that's why we have them! If you need them and your fine,dont let anyone tell you scary about benzos,cause i tell ya they work for me all those other ssri,and psychotic drugs are worse | F | 65 | 2 years 1 miligram | 3/30/2015 | 2 | Prescribed by the Dr. | No side effects. | It didn't work for me. | F | 29 | 2 years 1 | 3/15/2015 | 2 | dr subscribe it 4 the nite | Have headaches most of the time.don't sleep well. | I am not a epipelsy patient why does the dr prescribe this drug 2 me | F | 56 | 3 days 0,5 | 3/3/2015 | 3 | Anxiety | nothing much | slightly better than nothing or simple Valerian root | F | 60 | 2.5 years 1mg 3X day | 1/3/2015 | 2 | Anxiety | I have been having panic attacks, social anxiety, and hypochondria for several years. Was on Lexapro and Alprazolam for breakthrough anxiety. I gained 30 lbs on the Lexapro although it worked well so I decided to come off of it and I've already lost 7lbs in about 2 weeks. Anyway, Dr prescribed Clonozepam since it supposedly lasts longer than Alprazolam. I took it and felt nothing unusual but it did not even touch my anxiety. After two hours, I started flushing, sweating, and throwing up. I could not sleep that night and when I finally did fall asleep around 7:30am, I had hellish nightmares and kept waking up. The entire next day I felt like I had a bad hangover and a headache that wouldn't quit. I do not recommend this medicine. Will deal with the extra pounds if it means feeling better. | F | 33 | 2 days 0.5 | 9/14/2014 | 5 | anxiety | Overdose | F | 28 | 1 years 1mg | 8/9/2014 | 1 | Insomnia, panic | After an onset of severe panic and anxiety, I was prescribed Clonazepam and Lexapro. For the most part, it took care of the problems. I did have occasional panic and insomnia. After many years, I began having problems passing urine. With a quick search, Clonazepam came up. I am using catheters, getting infection after infection, and am trying to get off the drug. I have researched the Ashton Manuel, and am trying the Valium crossover. It's been a nightmare, and I haven't even completed the crossover! Please, stay away from Benzodiazepines! I'm a medical professional, and didn't do my homework. I'm praying God gives me my life back. | F | 54 | 10 years 1 mg | 8/9/2014 | 5 | Anxiety, Panic Attacks | Sleepiness, slight fatigue | Sometimes I take before bed and I sleep so much better. This works best without making me so tired when my anxiety is at a higher level. | F | 32 | 5 years .5 1X AN | 5/21/2014 | 1 | anxiety | was on 4mg per day which didn't help me that much but affected my cognitive abilities which i wasn't aware of until told by others, slurred speech, seemed drunk, driving badly, not able to function well ie looking after myself, cleaning up etc. Like a zombie. | Tapering off 10% per week as per doctors instructions and Ashton Manual(online) Went from 4mg to 1mg with very stong but bearable alternating withdrawal symptoms including, being totally wiped out-sleeping 16hrs, slight panic attacks/adrenalin rushes, very high anxiety, dilated pupils, itchy skin, sweating, unable to remember dates/mixing up appointments etc. Very wound up and uncomfortable but with times of feeling ok so i was able to reduce the dosage. I got to around 1mg then i got hit with symptoms so unbearable that i have stopped at this dose, i felt like i had decended into hell; depression, burning skin(when starting to sweat), feelings of terror, feelings of helplessness, not wanting to get out of bed, difficulty doing every day tasks, suicidal idealation (would rather be dead at times). Knowing it is only going to get worse for months makes it all worse. Feeling trapped. I would not have taken this medicine if i knew that the withdrawal symptoms would be worse than the anxiety it was supposed to control. Everyone is different some people have no withdrawal symptoms and use it for years but this how it has affected me. Will be seeing doctor on weekly basis and try to work something out. | M | 36 | 1.5 years 1mg 1X day | 5/19/2014 | 5 | Anxiety, PTSD, Insomnia | I've not experienced any negative side effects while taking the drug it is difficult to stop taking | Clonazepam has essentially cured my insomnia (along with trazodone)and has made dealing with PTSD and anxiety a lot easier. I took .5 mg 1x a day for about 2 yrs (took 1 extra per day during extreme times)then about a year ago I lowered the dose to .25 mg 1x per day with no problem. My new doctor wants to get me off the clonazepam and she suggested I take the pill only every other day but so far that has not been doable for me, I don't sleep w/o it and the next day I can't really function. The clonazepam also helps with pain associated with a herniated disc in my neck and loss of disc in spine, I do not take any other drugs for pain nor anything else. | F | 57 | 3 years .25 mg 1X day | 3/26/2014 |
