Side Effects
I have been taking Clonazepam for 7+ years now. I started at 2mg a day and now I'm currently at 0.5mg a day in AM. I have to say since I have been taking it for such a prolonged period of time I am experiencing many side effects from the medication. In particular for the past year or two as I am attempting to taper off the medication. I have experienced headaches, dizziness, vomitting, sleeplessness (insomnia), extreme itching with no rash, extreme sweating during sleep, nightmares, increased sex drive, abnormal eye movements and twitching, glassy eyed appearance, slurred speech, tremor, vertigo, confusion, nervousness, irratibility, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, dry mouth, increased appetite, sore gums, muscle weakness, muscle pains, fever. This is all over a period of 7+ years using the medication. I will say over the past year I've experienced the strongest side effects due to the fact I'm trying to taper off of it after taking it for such a long time. On a rece

Additional Thoughts
I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. My only strong comment is use Clonazepam for what you need it for, but avoid taking it for too long. It is addictive. I'm in a situation now where I really don't need the medication to function but I'm dealing with severe withdrawal symptoms. I've read some of the other posts for those that suffered or continue to suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. The medication is to help us function, but ultimately we need to work on our issues in conjunction with the medication. If you suffer from anxiety or panic of going to speak infront of people, or crowded buses, or crowded shopping malls (as I did at one point), its very important to remember that we also need to work on other aspects of our lives to fix this, not just rely on medication. Its confidence, self-esteem issues that need to be addressed, not just pop a pill and forget about the underlying issues. I've struggled for over a decade to address all the issues needed to be addressed. On

change of personality,more anxiety and depression.

Additional Thoughts
VERY dangerous drug nor does it anything for your problem. Panic and anxiety or whatever it is you were given this drug for, is still there underneath a nice fuzzy chemical blanket, for you to deal with at another date. This date comes the day your body is in tolerance which varies for any given person and when you either need to take more or get off. This class of drugs has caused untold misery and trauma world wide and the medical white coats don't seem to know/understand/want to see it and send you off with a mental illness or worse. Anyone having a problem with getting off, please refer to sites such as www.benzo.org.uk and become a member at one of the online supportgroups. We have worked for years to undo what the medical community can't...get you off safely.

Side Effects
burntout,slurred speech,hangover feeling,memory loss,depression

Additional Thoughts
At the start it worked great for panic attacks and tics. I became dependent and have noticed severe side effects from years of use. I have a very bad short term memory now and after talking with my doctor have found that it is also causing depression. I take .5mg as needed up to 1.5 a/day tapered down from 2.5/mg. If I have a good sleep I will wake up feeling fine but if I take the medication in the morning I go on a spiral downwards for the rest of the day untill I am completly burntout. I would say that this drug has helped me quite a bit but be aware of its addictivness.
