The name is Klonopin.
It is the worst thing I have taken in my entire life. Such strange side effects that doctors have been clueless. Withdrawal is even tougher, and 4 years after withdrawal I still get panic/anxiety attacks. Remarkably strange things have happened being on this medication, and stranger things have happened coming off it.
I have no problems with Klonopin because I take a low dose (0.25mg) on a as needed PRN basis.
I was taking 3-4 mgs daily.
I wasn’t for anxiety- at that time if I got voices they went away with Klonopin.
Currently, I don’t take any. But, 4 years after withdrawal I am still getting effects.
Yeah that could be a problem
By the way I am taking .25 mgs Cabergoline twice a week since the last three weeks. So far, so good. No mania or psychosis.
That’s great!
Good for you
I take klonopin for anxiety.
It’s prescribed to be taken up to four times a day.
I know I’ll have to get off of it eventually,
But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Never had any negative side effects while taking it though.
Im happy i got off the drug but i had to taper off the withdrawal was terrible
I take it 3 times a day and like it. 
its one of the worst drugs to be dependent on thats for sure.
i was prescribed it and took it about 2 days a week sometimes every other day then breaks as itd work for multiple days for my td, it has such a long half life the effects would last multiple days. it helped at first but after a few months i wanted to stop it. worst withdrawal ever, panic attacks, felt like my brain was fried, i became suicidal and hysterical depression, i would say it was even worse than psychosis as the post acute withdrawal symptoms lasted over a year and nothing helped, the symptoms would come in waves, and right when i think its getting better it comes back. i had to get on antidepressants which i am still on 3 years later, but i will never take klonopin or any benzo again as i was in such a bad state of mind i barely made it through it alive
I was on 3 mg daily of Klonopin for a few years. It was a nice crutch. One time I took 13 Klonopin and 28 Atavan, and I had to go to the emergency room and then to the hospital. It wasn’t a suicide attempt. Those pills were stronger than I thought, that’s all.
I am prescribed 6 mgs a day…
Decided to taper of for a while…
In three months is 3mgs a day.
Had to stop there bc depression hit me hard.
In few months I plan to down it to 2mgs.
Must take it easy.
Our doctors are reckless when prescribing benzos, I’m not the only one.
I take it for anxiety and mania. It works great for me. I just use it “as needed”.
When I was in the hospital a month ago I took 2 mg of Ativan to calm me down every day that I was in there, but for some reason providers here won’t prescribe me any as an outpatient. I think it would help my anxiety but I can’t get any scripts for it.
What area are you from? In my experience in the US, doctors are very careful about prescribing it. Almost a last resort type situation.
I was on Klonopin, my genius doctor gave me a script for 100 refillable any time so that’s what I did, got horribly addicted, finally got detoxed which was the worst hell imaginable, don’t touch benzos ever since
