I have severe anxiety (Agorophbia) for 41 years from being druged at a party back in 1969, I'm now 58 years old. I've tried, hypnosis, books, head doctors, herbs, etc, don't waste your time or money on these things for many years, like I did. This is a REAL ILLNESS contrary to what people tell you. The doctors will give you some paxel or celexa and send you home to get rid of you. Unless you have...
This medication was given to me by my PCP, most likely based on poor judgement. It instantly threw me into a heavy depression, and worsened my condition. I was unnable to move, or get out of bed, or go to work or eat for five days. I felt hopeless, listless, and chronicly sleepy/drowsy. I even took a Provigil one of those days in an attempt to stay awake and fell asleep anyways. I quickly decided ...

I get cold sweats, heart palpolatios and nightmares, my brains goes into over time trying solve problems when I sleep. Clonazepam 1mg .75mg night + .25mg afternoon has reduced this episodes and let me sleep more peacefully some nights are still terrible. I am pretty much hooked now. I would hope I can get off it after 10 yrs.

PTSD...severe. Taking this drug saved my life. I know it is habit forming, but better than the consequence of not taking it.

Getting off this medication is pure hell. When getting on expect that you’re going to be on for a lifetime. Which is not really likely because it stops working. I gave five stars for effectiveness… Because it didn’t really work at some point. But one store for satisfaction because of the withdrawal. I’ve been off for about two months now and I’m starting to feel some relief

My 28 yo has Leukodystrophy and has been on this medication for the last 2 months. It seems to be helping with his overall mood swings and seizures. I’m very pleased, so far.

This drug does help me a lot but when the doctor will not give it to me i have severe side effects. I am with a new psychiatrist and they prescribe monthly. My family doctor refused to prescribe this to me after three years of taking it. It really took a toll on my life and emotions when she did that. I am thankful to find a doctor who cares. .5 twice a day or when needed. Effective but always needed.

About 18 months ago started taking lowest dosage. Feeling of uselessness no energy just wanted to do nothing. This drug brought me out of this state and was able to function again. Have continued on lowest dosage with 1 1/2 pill per day.

I was on this drug for 18 years. and Ambien. Was on 1.5 mg. then down to 1 mg. for 2 years. Wanted to go off and did NOT titrate. Big mistake, I did not research. All withdrawal symptoms. Not driving yet. Last night I actually slept for 7 hours. Went off the drug about 36 days go. Very frightening. Hope that I fully recover. Doctor just kept writing prescription. Great when you need it. Only short term use. I was never told.

Ah yes. The king of benzos.. So I've been on Cloneazepam for almost a year now to treat my sleep paralysis, insomnia and anxiety. It's been a good ride and has make me alcohol free for almost a year which is a bonus. I take .5mg in the morning, .5 in the afternoon. Evenings I take 1mg and sometimes smoke a little herb to help me fall asleep faster. I have started to notice some withdrawls after 8-9 months of use and now that I'm almost a year in, I'm finally slowing down the use and hopefully in 2 months I'll be benzo free. Anyways clonazepam is great, it last 12 hours in your system instead of 6 hours like alprazolam (xanax) and the clonazepam is the best benzo/tranquilizer out of all the benzos. Anyways if you have bad seizures, really bad sleep paralysis like I have or have crippling anxiety i recommend you talk to your doctor about this medication.Read More Read Less

Works very well if you take it as prescribed. It can be a very addictive drug but if you use it the right way and you do not stay on it for a very long time and you will not become physically and mentally addicted.I have been on all different types of anxiety and panic disorder medication and in most of them are addictive, I’ve been taking them since I am 12 I am 27 and I have had not one problem and I have been on and off them through the years.

I've taken this on an as-needed basis for 25 years. I take buspirone daily, which handles most anxiety, but when I'm very upset I take this too. It's been wonderful. I've never had an addiction problem. I've had no side effects with this drug. I'm hoping to start NeuroStar treatments within the next 2-3 months.

I use clonazepam for anxiety connected with my depression. It is very effective and I have no side effects. I'm aware it could be addictive, but if used correctly and responsively it hasn't had that addictive quality on me.

When I initially began taking this medication it was wonderful. The panic attacks completely stopped, however after 2 years I became physically dependent on it. This is the WORSE drug to withdraw from! It almost killed me! This drug should be banned indefinitely!
