Klonipin - I was on this drug after being on xanax for a year then Valium, I felt as if nothing was working anymore so the Dr. placed me on Klonipin, a HIGH dosage, I ran out and 3 days later it was like I awoke from a dream, I had been shopping, doing and going places even had my hair cut and dyed and have no memory of this at all...
After realizing this I stopped it and started having such a bad feeling, not able to breathe, felt as if I was having a heart attack, my face... everything is a feeling of wanting to crawl outa my skin. I highly suggest never quitting cold turkey if you're on these types of meds but have your Dr wean you off slowly, I had to start taking Valium again just because the feelings were too much to handle.
I will never reccomend this drug to anyone, but I also know someone that it is helping a lot. It just depends on the person.

I have taken Klonipin for over 3 yrs now. I only use it if i feel a panic attack coming on. This drug has never caused me trouble. I am on the highest dose, and I feel it isn't working. I have in the past been on 2 mg. Xanax for over 15 years. That just made me a zombie. I am now going to coping classes to get off ALL drugs now. The drugs just keep a person , as myself relying on false tenses I now am learning to COPE with my desease, w/o drugs at all. I am doing fine w/o my drugs now. There is life w/o relying on drugs.
