I had a panic attack that lead to a seizure recently. It was the second seizure I had, after that I was put on Clonezepan and I have Xanax for immediate needs. I had trouble sleeping in the beginning and now after being on it over a year I have a weight gain. Is it also due to Clonezepan? What are experiences of others with Clonazepan?
I too have had seizures, but I have abused Clonezepan and my doctors have been hesitant to prescribe medications. Clonezepan is by far the most effective I have found for seizure activity, but I’ve had partial seizures, not grand mal. I get like I know what’s going on around me. However, I twitch and jerk around a lot, eyes roll, eyelids flutter and I feel distant.
I have anxiety pretty bad and have been on clonipin for about 3 years. The only problem is I have now adjusted to my dose which does not halp with the anxiety anymore. Now I have an adicction to a drug that is surving no purpose. I am slowly detoxing off of this med and going back on Ativan for situation attacks.
I have to say I lost tons of weight on this med. I do not sleep well, and I still have those wild attacks of anxiety. yes at first it worked. It was great and I got to feel relaxed at times.
But I have done so much research on this med that what I am learnig is the longer your on it it wil effect your short term memory and als you will have rebound anxiety attacks once you have adjusted to the med. So in fact it is doing nothing.
I am so anxious trying to detox becuase of the side effects of this drug. I am on a hig dose and I am on a rapid detox. I'm afraid. I don;t know what a seizure is or when they come on, but I do know detoxing off this drug that is a very serious issue on a rapid detox because of the longevity of the drug in your system. I could be find for a few weeks after I am off of it and feel the reults of the detox. Now that is scary.

is clonazepan the same thing as calanopin?
