Klonopin belongs in the family of the benzodiazepines which includes the related Xanax, Valium / diazepam and Ativan / lorazepam. Klonopin acts as a sedative / hypnotic, anti-convulsant, muscle relaxant and relieves anxiety. Although FDA approved in 1975, Klonopin remains among the 50 most frequently used medicines with more than 18 million prescriptions each year.
While Klonopin improves partial seizures either alone or in addition to other therapy, it often loses its anti-seizure effects within several months. Boosting the dose may regain control.
Klonopin finds most use as a treatment for panic attacks. This disorder affects nearly 3% of adults while remaining undiagnosed in as many as 40% of those suffering from the often disabling symptoms. Although Klonopin reduces the frequency of attacks, it rarely eliminates them.
Off-label use of Klonopin remains extensive as treatment for anxiety, mania, social anxiety disorder, insomnia and fibromyalgia. Monthly cost varies between about $10-$45.

Just so everyone on here knows...when he says it may lose it's effectiveness in "as little as 3 months" he's referring to seizure prevention aspect of this drug NOT lose it's effectiveness for panic attacks and anxiety- seizure prevention is a totally different problem then anxiety and panic attacks. I've taken this drug for panic attacks and anxiety EVERY NIGHT for over 12 years now and only had to increase my dosage from a half a milligram a night to 1 milligram a night. Before this I dropped out of college from being panic stricken while giving presentations or just from the 1st day of class where you had to introduce yourself. It got so bad i had trouble getting haircuts or even doing activities with my family. This drug right here after trying 35 different drugs probably over the past 20 years FIXED me and I hope others on here will see this and speak to their DR about this drug and get the help you need.

This drug increases the gabs siginanftly an csn damage it. Wich can take years to recover from.

I've actually heard reports of people taking it for 2 day an suffering for long time because of it. Be very careful with this drug it is not safe. It is a man made chemical designed to get people depdntant for profit. Honestly you should just stay away from it completely. Find natural ways to help your anxiety .it might not work as fast as you want, but it will work just as good whrn it does sn you won't have to worry about hurting your nervous system. Also this drug increase the risk or dementia by 50 percent. You don't beleive me? Look it up for yourself. Truth be told, this drug is a hard-core drug, an it gets you high. That's why people suffer so much. Anything thst makes you feel that good always has consequences. Can't say I didn't warn you. You play you pay. This drug has stolen my joy or any sense of peace whatsoever. You dont need this drug my freind, society has painted thus picture that people ' need" stuff like this, they say, " well its just like people with blood pressure problems need a drug so do people with anxiety" . It's a lie! Before any of these benzos were created the world was fine. Matter of fact more people have mental illness now since these drugs were created. There are effective natural ways to help anxiety. Plant the seed an watch it grow, don't judt by the whole tree cause it will rot! The doctors tell you take it as prescribed because they know thsts how you'll get depentslanr on it. They are drug dealers. If they think giving people a drug that gets thrm high is what helps anxiety thrn are delusional! Don't fall for the devils tricks. I hope you stop taking it. Its not a good drug. It's deceiving people left sn right leaving them as tortured souls.

Honestly the side effects of this medication and other Benzo's seem a lot less than even SSRI's. I think the main problem with these medications is the addiction and especially substance abuse.. But what about those people who don't abuse it or use it sparingly.. There are some people who take a low dose for decades and it works for them. Someone wrote an article once that if used properly and for people with real anxiety/panic disorder who aren't substance abusers, the benzo's work the best with the least side effects.. I wonder if the doctor would comment on this.

I have been on klonopin for 5 years and am on week 2 off of it. It took a year-long taper, and is different from SSRI's. The withdrawal is mental and very physical in nature with this drug. Having a CNS that is rebounding off benzo use is scary and life-threatening. I also take Remeron which is an antidepressant and when I lower the dose it is just as extreme in a different way. I agree with you and used sparingly they are the best and have no unpleasant side effects really. I may incorporate benzos later but never taken every day in abundance ever again as prescribed.

The fact is that benzos are short term tools and should never be taken for more than 3 weeks. And im not even saying this because of dependance nor abuse, but for the fact that long term use of benzos will only worsen the anxiety of the patient. I think anxiety is mainly du to environmental factors and the best way to deal with it is through personnal support like family and friends, through professional help like psychiatrist and ultimutaly through a complete change of the problematic environment, even if its mean resigning from a job or ending a relentionship. Because if you only face a problematic situation by taking benzos and not adressing the core issues, it will only get back to you in a much stronger way because of the addition of the disrupted natural functioning of the GABA system by these benzos.

And my response to that is "Why in the h*** am I going to stop taking the only medicine that has helped me with my anxiety for the last 17 years?" All this B.S. started around 2012 and 2013 because of the "Opioid Epidemic" Just because opioid addicts started mixing benzos with their pain pills and overdosed does not mean the rest of us responsible people have to pay for their mistakes.

I’ve been using Klonopin for a year and it’s improved my life. Unlike Xanax or Ativan, Klonopin is much longer and smoother-acting. It doesn’t hit you hard and leave you. It builds up in your system over time to help anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, etc. It’s also great for my muscle spasms and muscle pain. It’s not nearly anywhere as addictive as other benzodiazepines. I stopped taking it for 2 weeks and had no withdrawal symptoms. Just take it as needed, as prescribed, and responsibly, and you’ll be fine! 😊👍

Your Doctor won't tell you any of this either. I want you to imagine having all of these withdrawal symptoms AT THE SAME TIME. It's very hard to survive. Most don't. Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms (not inclusive): • Electric shock sensations • Muscular spasms, cramps or fasciculations • Insomnia • Blurred vision • Dizziness • Dry mouth • Aches and pains • Hearing disturbances • Taste and smell disturbances • Chest pain • Flu like symptoms • Impaired memory and concentration • Increased sensitivity to light/sound • Increased urinary frequency • Numbness and tingling • Hot & cold flashes • Headache/migraine • Rebound REM sleep • Stiffness • Fatigue and weakness • Hypersomnia • Metallic taste • Photophobia • Paranoia • Hypnagogia-hallucinations • Nausea and vomiting • Nightmares • Agitation and restlessness • Anxiety, possible terror and panic attacks • Hypochondriasis • Impaired concentration • Elevation in blood pressure • Tachycardia • Hypertension • Postural hypotension • Depression (can be severe), possible suicide ideation • Tremor • Perspiration • Loss of appetite and weight loss • Dysphoria • Depersonalization • Derealisation (Feelings of unreality) • Tinnitus • Paraesthesia • Visual disturbances • Mood swings • Gastrointestinal problems (Stomach & abdomen) An abrupt or over-rapid discontinuation (withdrawal) of benzodiazepines may result in a more serious and very unpleasant withdrawal syndrome that may additionally result in: • Convulsions, which may result in death • Catatonia, which may result in death • Coma (rare) • Temporal lobe epilepsy • Suicide • Attempted suicide • Suicidal ideations • Self-harm • Hyperthermia • Delusions • Homicidal ideation • Urges to shout, break things or to harm someone • Violence • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder • Psychosis • Confusion • Mania • Effects similar to delirium tremens.

I have been prescribed Klonopin for about 6 months now. I wouldn't let them put me on an SSRI because I have family members who had suicide attempts while on those drugs. I have found that if I take one before the anxiety comes that it doesn't come near as heavy nor does it stay as long. They're becoming fewer and further between with each passing month. I spent 10 years in a a dead-set against taking Klonopin because of the recovery relapse aspect of it. All I can say about that is I could have saved myself a lot of trouble had I listened to the doctor over the people at the AA meeting

Yes...yes you do. It's good stuff. There are two brands and one is way better than the other. There's the Teva brand that CVS carries and then there is the Accord brand that's made in China and is garbage. If you don't shop either of these two places ask the pharmacist before getting it filled which brand they have and if they say Accord then leave and shop till you find one that has TEVA. You can also call each pharmacy and they'll tell you over the phone.

I have panic disorder with agoraphobia and 1 mg of clonazepam has helped me immensely, unlike Xanax which was pure hell for me. I would note that it is used in conjunction with Zoloft and carefully monitored by a psychiatrist. It's prescribed as needed and only scheduled if I'm having a bad flare up, which isn't very often. I might take it once or twice per week, sometimes not at all.

I've been prescribed, over my lifetime, almost every benzo out there and clonazepam 0.5 (2x day) is by far the best one for panic attacks, extreme tension episodes and anxiety. Of course, I can only speak for myself and how it reacts for me. Also, I have very little, if any, side-effects from taking this medication. The only one annoying side-effect was when I was taking this drug (3x a day) and that was varying frequencies of nighttime incontinence. Once I cut it down to 2x a day, that side-effect went away. I've been on this drug for many years with little to no tolerance issues. Thank gawd I found a solution to my lifetime issues. It's given me my life back.

And, yes, you can take it long term with no fear as long as your body tolerates it. Just be aware of the known side-effects. FYI, I'm 64 years old so we're pretty close in age. I was taking 3x a day but told my Dr that I wanted to cut back to 2x a day. I think, in part, that it was due to my age and it takes longer for the pills to become broken down by the body. As long as your Dr says it's okay for you to take it, go for it. I hope you get the benefits from the drug as I do. Good luck.

I recently had a severe breakdown over tinnitus (have long had OCD), and got myself into such a horrific anxiety loop that I went to the ER. My APRN prescribed this for me to bridge the gap while my SSRI increase kicks in, and its been a miracle. It's very much helped me break that vicious anxiety loop and helped me feel a lot more normal. I've only taken it a couple times, and even with it clearly worn off, I feel a lot more stable. The ear ringing isn't frightening me as much, and I feel much more hopeful about getting better. Dont plan on being on it long, but for the short time I have, it's been a godsend.

Just causs your doctors tells you take it a certain way doesent mean you should. You should do research for yourself an quit trusting these doctors so much. Your body can get depentant on this drug after 2 weeks of use. An it can cause serious nueroligical issues in a very short amount of time. Saying you take it as prescribed, " with all due respect" doesent mean shit. Thousands upon thousands of people who say they took them as prescribed srs suffering right now because of benzos. They may hsve took it as directed by there doctors , but that doesent really mean shit when the doctors are the ones who are responspible for thousands upon thousands. Possibly millions of people suffering from this drug. An you wouldn't want people to be on this drug either if you knew what kind of horrible suffering they can cause. So how bout doing some homework first before spouting your ignorance. I hope you don't have to go threw any suffering from this drug. Becauss you'll be changing your mind real quick. There are several studies that hsve shown how dangerous these drugs are. Wether yiu tske as prescribed or not is irrevelant.

These two drugs shouldn't even be labeled in the same category. Everyone knows that panic and anxiety is controlled by Gaba in which benzos increase the amount of, Paxil and SSRIs are don't touch GABA but rather increases Serotonin. I have 1 side effect with Klonopin which is mild constipation. On Paxil I had increased anxiety, night sweats, weight gain, more nervousness as well as others. Klonopin works and kicks in within 30 minutes and Paxil takes 3 weeks. These should not even be compared. Thanks for the helpful history anyway DR

This drug causes long term and possibly permanent damage bodywide and should be avoided at all costs. Yes, it works well but is not meant to be used longer than 2 weeks at a max followed by 2 more weeks to taper off. I speak from experience. I've been prescribed a benzo for 25 years and now I'm disabled as a result.

Honestly, take as prescribed and reduce the dose over a long period. Once this realization is made and you commit to this serious drug you can treat the whole experience like taking any other medicine. You just have to be careful because benzos demand a slow taper. It can help others like myself and really be life-saving as I've seen in others.

I must be one of the lucky ones, as I've been taking Klonopin for three years now, 0.5mg x2 per day. That's two tablets. Most days I try to take a little less than that. But I haven't felt a need for a stronger dose and only occasionally for more frequent. When this guy said 8-12 mg per day that shocked me. I couldn't stay awake at that dose. The first time I was put on that drug many years ago, the Psychiatrist put me on 1mg x 3 per day. So 3 times what I'm on now. I lowered myself to only 0.5mg in the first dose because it was making me tired and I had trouble at work. I actually got lectured for that, and had to *convince her to LOWER the dose*. That was in 1998 when benzos were still "all the rage" among doctors. As for recreational use, I just don't see how that's possible. I take it to feel normal, not "high".

Yessir I was on 120 pills of .5 mg Klonopin sophomore year of high school and it lasted until senior year of high school. The initial doctor got me on a high dosage and it took me a lonngggg time to get off. A year of slow taper and multiple attempts to jump off. I haven't taken one in two and a half weeks with no problem and I hope I am in the free.

The worst part about it is you need it once you're on it. The rebound anxiety you can get is fucked. Feels like your brain is in fight or flight mode for no reason. That said there's nothing like it for social anxiety. Benzos just have this effect in anxious people that the feeling of not being so anxious is its own euphoria. Now you need it to sleep or feel normal. Luckily it's long lasting but valium I think is better for that. I'm rambling but great video
