Hi,
Ive been taking klonopin for about 20 days 1mg tab twice a day.
the reason the docter put me on this is because i was having heart palpations. everyday none stop. he seemed to think it was anxiety, but i dont! at first i didnt take the klonopin correctly i would take one, one day then not take it again for a day or so cause i heard they were very addictive. but my heart kept beating out of my chest, which scares me to death so i thought i would give it a shot. expecially because i cant get in to see the cardiallogist till a month. now i see him in 5 days from now so 20 days ago i started taking it right its the only thing i knew to do till i see the cardialogist. but i feel no diffrent with taking the klonopin at all. at first it just made me really sleepy thats all. what do you think? all the klonopin withdrawls i have read on here really scare me, because i dont think i even had anxiety Ill find out in 5 days i guess and go from there hopefully i wont have trouble coming off the klonopin!

having heart palpations does not just come from anxiety. It also coule be if your a female you are starting to go through your changes. have you had your thyroid checked by a good thyroid doctor. You can have a normal total TSH level but if your T3 levels are high this will cause heart palpations, feel like your heart is pounding a mile a minute and it's not - also contributes to anxiety. There is a very strong connection between
anxiety and thyroid problems.
As for klonopin my doctor gave that to me I am a women who has no thyroid and going through my changes. Klonopin has just made things worse because one of the side effects of klonopin can be increased anxiety since it is usually used to treat panic attacks and seizures which
is very different then anxiety. Granted some people swear by it I don't.
I have been on it .5mg at bedtime for about 10 days and I am coming off it - it makes me feel sick, tingling, it has increased my anxiety, I am positive it is having a negative impact on my thyroid medication or my HRT.
