Hello

Every medication no matter what sort they are will come with some negative reports but these things they list what we don't realize have only affected maybe 1 in a 100 or more but I know when we have anxiety we think we will be the 1

I know you are fearing what you have read but if it was not for that do you feel they are helping at all ?

Best thing I would say is go back and talk to your Doctor , tell them how you are feeling and remember this is your treatment so you can suggest and put to the Doctor what you think would be best for you in the way you want support

Take Care x

Don't take it. I has made me an addict. I wish I was never put on it. I use GABA sometimes. It is in chewable form from some companies. It is like Valium but it is a normal neurotransmitter in your brain. Also an amino acid. The drug companies took that molecule in 1962 and turned GABA into Valium. GABA is non addictive. I wish you luck.

I already been taking , it i only take when needed 1mg

Try chewable GABA. Np prescription. Not make you drowsy. Safe to drive on. Legal.

Hi

Clonazepam doesn't treat the underlying biological cause of anxiety.

You should ensure your Doc has optimised your medicines.

Clonazepam is best reduced slowly to prevent withdrawal (which can be dangerous).

You should reduce it by 50% every two weeks if you are doing it on your own from 1mg/day.

Good luck,

I'm on 21/2 mg of klonopin

[Hidden in reply to CarlHolvey]

I'm scared I'm on 21/4mg of klonopin. I'm scared to get off of it. I don't know what will happen. Anxiety will be worse. I want to see another doctor for another opinion. I have muscle pain in my back, ribs, from being tense and crying. The doctor is two hours away and my husband won't take me.

I'm on 2 mg and terrified to get off of it because I feel anxiety will be worse.
