I was on this medication for a number of years for panic disorders. I had severe anxiety attacks and it seemed to help.

Pros

Got rid of my panic attacks.

Cons

Very 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.

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.

Pros

Got me to sleep.

Cons

Slept 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.

Pros

Great sleep and anxiety aid

Cons

none

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.

Pros

It really helps at night to keep my leggs from aching & jerking so I could rest.

Cons

It continues to make you sleepy throughout the day until it get's into your system.

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.

Pros

Reduces anxiety quickly

Cons

Makes 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.

Pros

no anxiety

Cons

sleepiness

This med was prescribed for my mother who is in her final stages of renal failure for tremors…all she does is sleep.

Cons

All 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

Pros

can maintain life and get by with basic things rather than be terribly sick and hiding away from life

Cons

having 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.
It helps me sleep and the anxiety has subsided. And klonipin and vicoden combined helps my pain.

Pros

helps me fall asleep

Cons

I'm only on .25mg at night and I don't think that's enough.

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.

Pros

works well,very low cost,potent antianxiety medication.

Cons

hard 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.

It 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?

Pros

It worked well at first and it did not cost all that much.

Cons

Hard 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.

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.
