Reason: Panic Disorder Date: 5 October 2009
Side Effects
Initially sleepiness, which went away when my tolerance built up. It helped greatly for many years. Later, it caused aching in my joints and increased anxiety. Coming off it was very difficult.

Additional Thoughts
I didn't take this drug every day, but even so I developed a tolerance to it. I didn't even know I was dependent until I stopped taking it. I had very scary effects even with a small dose. Please be careful coming off this drug. No one told me I needed to come off gradually.

Periodic Amnesia that increased as time went on, confusion, blurred vision, Muscle Pain, Left Sided numbness and weakness, pneumonia... plus plus plus

Additional Thoughts
My dr put me on 5 to 10mg per night right from the start, I was on it for approximately 4 to 5 months before a friend showed up at my drs appt to tell him what was happening to me. I was sure I was losing my mind and afraid to tell them what was happening. They discontinued my klonopin on the spot and eventually all those symptoms went away it took months!! I don't recall having any withdrawl symptoms but I may have as I had never been on many meds before!
