Date: Apr 18, 2013
Advice & Tips: This medication after taking it as prescribed for a while (till it builds up in your system) has really helped me control my panic attacks. I have found while taking this medication that I do not have them very often and when I do have them they are not as severe. I do not believe there is a "miracle" cure for Panic Disorders, but I really think that this one has come really close for me. I don't suffer from them like I used to. It used to be every day, I couldn't even walk out of the house without having on, now I can go into the city and be okay. I do still get them once in a while in a VERY small crowded windowless room, but that is VERY seldom.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Feb 22, 2012
Advice & Tips: Upon taking this medication last year (2011) I found that I am able to do more things than just to sit around the house. I have not found any other effects that this medication has given other than what it is intended for. I have really enjoyed this medication because it has helped me to get out with my family more often.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Feb 19, 2012
Advice & Tips: I have found that this medication has given me some what of a life back. I went from not wanting to leave my house to being able to go out with my husband and family. I am really glad that I have found a drug that has been able to help me with my panic attacks!
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Jan 18, 2012
Advice & Tips: It's a very good medication for someone who has extreme panic attacks and panic disorders. I have personal felt like it has improved my life a lot. I am able to get out and about and do things with my husband when before taking the medication I wouldn't leave the house. It has really helped improve my disorder. I still have my disorder and still attacks, but they are not as severe and they are not as often.
Cost: < $25 monthly

**Purpose:** Difficulty sleeping through night *(Started Feb 20, 2012)*
Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Mar 19, 2013	0.5 mg Daily	Slight	None	Always	Not at all

Date: Mar 19, 2013
Advice & Tips: Initially this med worked well for me. I don't know when it stopped working, but it did; as did the Requip I was on for my sleep disorders. When the Requip was first prescribed for RLS and PLMS, I woke up several times a night, and the Klonopin was prescribed to stop that, or allow me to just go right back to sleep, which it did. Since then, Requip was removed by my headache doctor, and I can't tell if the Klonopin works or not - it does not help me get TO sleep at all, that's for sure!
