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.

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.

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!

Advice & Tips: I feel that since starting the low dose of Clonazepam, I am a much happier, agreeable person to be around. It took the "edge off" more than any other antidepressant I've ever taken. I think this is finally a treatment that will really help me lessen anxiety. Since starting the daily dose that I take at night, I have only had 1 painful night in the past month!
