I was freaking out this morning because I have a lot going on helping my parents move into their new condo. I also have a flight at 7pm today so I was just anxious in general. Took some klonopin after a short break from it and I feel sooo much better.

I hear only good things about Klonopin here. Unfortunately when I took it I became dependent very quickly without even abusing it or taking it daily. This lead to a year of suicidal and emotional instability from post acute withdrawal symptoms. After that experience I will never take a benzo again

That is good. I also get great benefit from Klonopin.

Klonopin is a Godsend for me.
It brings me down from the chaos in my head.
I don’t take it everyday, I just take a little when needed.

Does this not make you sleepy? I used to take Clonazepam as needed for sleep. Have not used that since 3 years now being on Invega.

Benzo withdrawal is scary… it can kill you. I take Ativan but not everyday because i became dependent on it in the past.

Maybe my psychiatrist is right not to give me anything

amen.
fifteen character.
It makes me slightly drowsy but I’m on a lot of medication so I think it’s not just the klonopin it’s the mix of meds I’m on mirtazapine olanzapine seroquel and metformin

I take breaks and don’t take the full dose every time so I don’t become dependent

I’ve been taking 1.5mg of clonazepam (Klonopin) every night before bed for over a year because I have horrible insomnia.
I’m almost certainly dependent on it at this point but I don’t care, I needed to sleep and it’s the only thing that has worked consistently.

My pdoc told me they couldn’t prescribe Klonopin anymore back last year. I was upset because I didn’t eat it like candy.it helped me.

Maybe find a new doctor? One who is more liberal with benzodiazepines, or just explain to your doctor how much it helped and how you didn’t abuse it. I don’t know what I’d do without it I get 120 .5mg pills per month.

I like Klonopin. My psychiatrist put me on it one of the times I was in the psych ward but once I got out my psychiatrist I was seeing in my city took me off of it. I wish I could still take it.

Lorazepam worked wonders for me in hospital

Ativan worked wonders for me too when I was in the hospital grieving the loss of my son. It eases grief pangs.
