My doctor has prescribed Klonopin one tab for Anxiety. I do not have extreme and regular bouts of anxiety so I only take it when needed, so my three months supply has lasted for a little over a year. Is this ok?

Yes, I think it is and less addicting. I have been on Klonopin for a few months now for treatment of anxiety and panic attacks. I want to try to stop taking it and deal with the anxiety without medication, under my doctor’s supervision. My anxiety is one of off and on due to certain circumstances in my life. At one time I was symptom free for more than 3 years it came back. And I took no medication and it went away again.

| Hi* I'm also on Klonopin. I've been on it for about 3 months now. I have extremely bad anxiety. I can't even walk with a cup in my hand because I will drop it. I can't walk with anything in my hands because they are always shaking. I take this twice a day. I am being treated for panic attacks which has helped tremendously. My anxiety though hasn't went down at all. I just stopped having panick attacks. The Klonopin is less addictive than Zanax. Actually, sometimes I don't take my medicine for days at a time. The only time I take it now is whenever I know I'm going to be over anxious. I can't go into crowds, can't be around only men, and if I am going somewhere I seem to always feel better with my husband there. My anxiety runs in my family, I guess I just got it really bad. I think I sleep about 4 hrs. a night. Now I'm being treated for a possible ulcer due to the anxiety problem. So, I recommend staying on the Klonopin, just keep the dosage the same. |

Hi,
The Doc just put me on Lexapro but after reading all the messages I believe that Klonipin would serve me best. I was diagnosed with a Gastric Erosive Ulcer. I started the Lexapro and It just had a bad effect on me. Does anyone have a bad reaction to klonipin? I'm just trying to find something that does not make me feel druggy.
Thanks a bunch,
Mickey |
