As you know clonazapam is used to control seizures and to relieve anxiety. It is sometimes prescribed for other uses too. Clonazepam comes as a tablet to take by mouth and the initial adult dose should not exceed 1.5 mg/day divided into 3 doses. That dosage may be increased in increments of 0.5 to 1 mg every 3 days until seizures are adequately controlled but with constant doctor’s control. As for the contradictions, they are: significant liver disease, narrow angle glaucoma, sensitivity to benzodiazepines. Clonazepam can be habit-forming so do not take a larger doses (it’s better taking it more often) or for a longer period of time.
I have been taking Clonazapam for about 4 years I have not had any side effects. I take them for a sleep aid to counter Mirapex side effects which are insomnia. If taken the same time every night at the same time they allow me to get a decent night sleep. The drowsiness is wore off in the morning completely so it doesnt hinder driving. Occasionally 10 percent of the time they dont work as good.
clonazepam worked great for me (anxiety), only side effect was drowsiness. But I'll take that over anxiety anyday! Just use caution when driving until you get used to it. I took it for 5 years straight, then stopped for pregnancy, now started again along with LEXAPRO. The combination can't be beat. I feel like a new person!!!!
My doctor initially prescribed Clonazapam for ocassional anxiety about 3 years ago but then decided to add it to my regular seizure meds. I sleep great, always through the night, and am always the one who handles things calmly. I have no more anxiety and I am able to speak in front of audiences with no problems. Upon changing neurologists I have found that Clonazapam is an addictive drug and even missing a dose can cause you to have a seizure whether you are prone to have one or not. Where as Clonazapam has been effective and helpful for me, the thought of being on an addictive drug and knowing that one slip could possibly bring on a seizure is quite scary to me.
I have used clonazapam 12 years for RLS. Only works about 80% as far as controlling the spasms. I would absolutely run out of steam if I didn't take it. So far, I'm not aware of any side affects to me. I take .5mg nightly. I decided long ago I was not going to increase the dosage with time in order to maintain equal effectiveness. No, it isn't as effective now as it was 12 yrs ago but, it still helps alot.
I have been taking clonazapam for about a year. It doesn't control my legs 100%, but along with Requip I get full control. I haven't noticed any side affects from the clonazapam. I don't know if it makes a difference that I am a man. I was originally given it for a slight depression. Nobody told me it was addictive either. Doctors don't always tell you everything. It's a good idea to check some medical sites when given a new medication. I have noticed upon stopping or missing a dose I get a shaky near Palsey like condition in my arms mostly.
