Klonapin????????

If anyone has ever used Klonapin for anxiety disorder could you please share your feelings about this medication, what you liked about it and what the side effects are? I am presently taking 1800mg of Gabapentin for this issue and have been since Feb. of this year and have seen little if any improvement in my anxiety. I have heard good feedback so far about Klonapin and would like to mention this to my doctor if it might work for me. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i took klonopin when in bad anxiety i was down for 3 months its the only drug that pulled me out ,well and a course with my help, but i took .25am .25pm and it really helped. i didnt stay on it but two weekls because i hate meds but if i ever need help again i will take it , the only side affect i had was tired to start but it will wear off. my mom takes it now been on it for 6 months and loves it. there are others who say the drug is bad and get off of it , i guess its yourself who has to decide. try it , it wont hurt you if you not like it come off its easy to get off. Good luck

Klonapin saved my life.Yes it releived me of my symptoms.I have been taking it for a year.My doc says to take it twice a day and i'm on 1mg.I don't listen to him though and i take it just when i need it which is only like one every other day.I tell you this,get off whatever you are taking and ask your doctor about klonapin.Thank god for this medicine and my doc for making the right choice.Panic attacks gone!!!!!!!!   I really hope i save someones life.Comment back please.

Klonopin is the best because you have to build it up in your system  and it lasts soo much longer than xanax or ativan which i have been on both. I feel like a whole new person! Try it!
