Add your reviewI was on this medication for a number of years for panic disorders. I had severe anxiety attacks and it seemed to help.
ProsGot rid of my panic attacks.
ConsVery addictive. I would run out and suffer severe withdrawel. My psychiatrist finally recommended that I cut way back to just needing it as needed. I now get along with less than 7 pills a month, whereas a supply of 120 pills was being prescribed per month. I do not recommend it. Don't go at it with the attitude I had and decide it doesn't matter because I will be taking it the rest of my life.
i am prescribed this medication for anxiety
Prosseems to keep me on an even keel throughout the day
Consmakes me seem emotionless
Two different Doctors prescribed this to me in the past two years. It is only 1 or2 mg. 3x a day. I only took it once a day at night. It wasn't worth taking to me. I would rather run manic and have anxiety than take this.
ProsGot me to sleep.
ConsSlept too much. Makes me feel like a zombie and I can't get myself going at all the next day.
I take 2mg every night about an hour before bed. It helps with my anxiety, restless leg and insomnia. I don't think I could live without it. I was on amytriptyline before this and hated it. Didn't do anything for my anxiety. Woke up feeling like I had a hang-over. Also caused heart palps.
ProsGreat sleep and anxiety aid
Consnone
I also take this for panic attacks and anxiety. In the beginning it did make me sleepy. I stopped taking it for awhile but had to start it again for relief for severe restless leg's.
ProsIt really helps at night to keep my leggs from aching & jerking so I could rest.
ConsIt continues to make you sleepy throughout the day until it get's into your system.
tried klonipin with my mother. made her sleep all the time and when awake had increase forgetfullness and confusion.
First medicine I've found that helps with the anxiety without turning me into a vegetable. Take 1 mg tab up to 4x a day.
ProsReduces anxiety quickly
ConsMakes you sleepy when you first start and you have to taper down when you notice anxiety lessening.
Kolonopin did not work for me. I take xanax and it is a wonder drug for my anxiety.
Prosno anxiety
Conssleepiness
This med was prescribed for my mother who is in her final stages of renal failure for tremors…all she does is sleep.
ProsI honestly see no pro's.
ConsAll she does is sleep
im on a small dose 3 x daily but alone it does not do the trick for my anxiety…so i am also on visteral 3xdaily with it and THEN also take busbar 4 times a day…now THAT combination does the trick but yeah this drug is very important for me
Proscan maintain life and get by with basic things rather than be terribly sick and hiding away from life
Conshaving to take the combination to do to mix but not that BIG of a deal to me, i just hate that they put you thru drug testing like you are a drugie…but then i love it when results come thru and im clean other than what i prescribed lol
It was prescribed to me for my anxiety and panic attacks and also for sleep and neuropathy pain.
ProsIt helps me sleep and the anxiety has subsided. And klonipin and vicoden combined helps my pain.
helps me fall asleep
ConsI'm only on .25mg at night and I don't think that's enough.
I take this product and it really works for me. I have used it for several years and has been a life saver.
I take this twice daily and it works for me.
This is the only medication that helps with my panic/anxiety disorder.
ProsWorks real well.
ConsIf you miss a dose you know it fast.
I have tried this product
ProsJust made me sleepy
ConsJust made me sleepy
klonopin has worked well for me in the past. but there is a older medication that even workers better and is more potent and it is called miltown 400mg. or meprobamate its been around for over 45 years now and works wonders.
Prosworks well,very low cost,potent antianxiety medication.
Conshard to find at pharmacys,some doctors do not prescribe it,can be addictive,schedule iv narcotic,first dosages will make you very tranqual do not drive until you are adjusted to this medication.
This is the only medication that the doctor's have found that work for me.
ProsIt helps my panic and anxiety attacks almost 100%
ConsIt is addicting.
It worked for me at first but then it seemed to taper off. I had to start using more and more of it and that I did not like. Glad that it helped others though. Any thoughs of other like minded medicine that worked better for others?
ProsIt worked well at first and it did not cost all that much.
ConsHard to get a doctor to give me the prescription and the effects got lesser and lesser with time and had to take to much of it to make it work in the end.
Whatever caused all the tension is gone now.
ProsMy attacks have ended. I'm back to the person I was.
Consnone
What has happened to this site that I don't understand in the past few days. It has caused me extreme anxiety that a med that has worked for 6 years is not helping me to all the tension and backstabbing???? It would help me if I knew what and who did it.
