I was prescribed Clonazepam 1mg and was told to take 1\2 -1 pill every 12 hours, this medication I have taken for three days now and it has helped me feel more like myself, I had been suffering for 4 months with too many symptoms to mention, and I am thankful for finding the right medicine for me.

I have been taking a generic version of Klonopin for 5 years now. At first I took it every day at 1mg doses for the first 6 months. Now only take it when I need it at 0.5mg's. It works great for general anxiety. If you have something such as a major fear of public speaking its not going to kill that anxiety 100 % by itself. Consider taking it with Propranolol.

I have been taking a generic version of Klonopin for 5 years now. At first I took it every day at 1mg doses for the first 6 months. Now only take it when I need it at 0.5mg's. It works great for general anxiety. If you have something such as a major fear of public speaking its not going to kill that anxiety 100 % by itself. Consider taking it with Propranolol. That combination is a miracle worker. But as far as just general anxiety goes Klonopin by itself is great. I've never really had any major withdraw side effects with it but then I'm at a small dose anyways. When I'm taking it I feel really at ease with my thoughts and others around. If you take this please don't be a jerk while taking it. Enjoy the fact your finally not anxious for once and at peace. Some people use it as an excuse to act stupid or annoying. Sure your going to feel nice while your taking it but don't be 'that guy' and give people a bad reputation that need to take it to function normally. You are still in control and your not drunk so be responsible.

I started taking Klonopin when I was 20 for panic attacks and social anxiety. I've been prescribed it for over 5 years now. It works wonderfully. It really is a miracle for those who suffer from panic and anxiety. It takes about an hour to kick in, but it lasts for at least 5 hours. It kicks in much faster if you put it under your tongue and let it dissolve. Some side effects include drowsines ... Show Full Comment

I started taking Klonopin when I was 20 for panic attacks and social anxiety. I've been prescribed it for over 5 years now. It works wonderfully. It really is a miracle for those who suffer from panic and anxiety. It takes about an hour to kick in, but it lasts for at least 5 hours. It kicks in much faster if you put it under your tongue and let it dissolve. Some side effects include drowsiness, lack of a "filter" when talking, very slight clumsiness/lack of balance, and very slight memory loss. It works great right before bed if you can't sleep, too. A little goes a long way. Half of a milligram doesn't sound like much, but it is. Klonopin is very potent. Word of caution: DO NOT take this every day. You will get tolerant to it, and you will need more of the drug to feel any relief. DO NOT drink when taking this. You will do things you regret, black out, and not remember anything that happened. I highly suggest, with every fiber of my being, to take Klonopin only as needed, and only when absolutely necessary. The last thing you want is to take 1mg of Klonopin and not feel any relief. And that is exactly what will happen when you take Klonopin every day or otherwise abuse it.

It does make you drowsy which help at night but not so much in am.. I have GAD. I would rather take this everyday then to take something while I am having an attack. The biggest drawback of this drug is that the withdrawal symptoms. It is worse than any panic attack/anxiety. It does take some people a long time to come off this drug. Be advised..

I've taken this medication at several different times in my life due to moderate panic/anxiety. Was prescribed this after taking Ativan which was too strong for me. I would go entire days feeling like i was sleep-walking on Ativan. I started taking .5 mg twice daily and found myself agitated so I started splitting the pills and .25 mg twice daily and I no longer had agitation. After a few weeks I noticed that I stopped worrying so much about things that stress me out. Also had no noticeable side effects. This is definitely a mild benzo and, at least in my experience, doesn't cause the drowsy/drugged feeling that other benzos do. It almost helps without really noticing it's helping if that makes sense. Each time I've taken this I've weened myself off of it when I felt I no longer needed it. Never really had any withdrawal. Lately due to increase work and stress at my job I have considered asking my doctor if I could go back on it.
