Has anyone taken Klonopin?

Mattie, are you trying to get off all meds or try I g to find one that works for you. Some people can't get off of meds and need to stay on one that works for you. They have a DNA test you can take that shows which ones do and do not work for you. In the mean time can your doctor give you something for the withdrawals. People usually don't have a problem getting off of Prozac. Did it quit working for you? How long were you on it?

you are misled...read about withdrawl from Prozac!!!!! Horrible. was on it 20 years. my doctor moved or is not interested anymore. cannot6 find another near me and haveAMDl so cant drive far. No doctor, for that, believe me....I have spen months on comp and phone..when u are over 70 they want u dead.

I know how you feel Mattie. I am 72 and really get scared about the Anxiety and depression I have and if this is a new norm. I have had It on and off for years and use to bounce back from It. This last episode has been going on almost 2 years! It does seem like they would like to sweep us seniors under the bus at times doesn't it?

I decided not to go on the Klonopin after reading about withdrawal which I want no part of since all my panic and anxiety are caused from coming off of Lyrica. So I am staying on one Ativan a day and using CBD oil as needed

What srength of Ativan do you take each day?

0.5

hi
glad to find this link nd meet you all.
i had vestibular migraine a couple of months back, neurologist prescribed divalproic sodium 125, nd a mild dose of
escitalopam-5mg nd clonazepam-0.25 mg (half tablet of stalopam plus). as i am getting panic whenever i become dizzy.
now i am almost fine but contimuing the medication,
i wish to taper the medicine , appreciate a suggestion from you.
regards

Do you feel the Klonopin really helped with the panic? How long were you actually on it? It sounds like you are on a light dose. Is that once a day. Do you feel you are completely well? If not, wouldn't it be a little risky to start tapering off meds? What does your doctor say? I have a tendency to try and taper my drugs too because I am so afraid of side effects and getting addicted. It usually doesn't work for me. Please be careful when reducing drugs.

I've been on it a really long time.. 10+ years. 1mg at bedtime. Helps me get through the night without waking every 2 hours. But, I take it for sleep, not anxiety... It's actually a seizure medication..

this is mattie and I thank you with all my heart. Yes hurt me a lot and i usually delete posts now. I have several other problems...arthrits in hands, amd, besides depression and panic attacks. I thank you so much. I think that her post was unnecessassry when we are etalking about depression, eetc. This is not an English class.
