| Add Clonazepam review I was anxious, depressed and having suicidal ideations for a year. I started taking klonopin (.5) every night and it has dramatically taken the edge off. I feel less bothered by things that used to upset me, i'm happier and I feel more comfortable socializing again. Taking .25mg and it is making me fall asleep after lunch....sound sleep....may be too high a dosage feeling rest sleeping,i was having tensed and fear an anxiety still i am taking it and am feeling better. I take 1 mg 3X a day. It works quite well although I am starting to build up a tolerance to it. My panic disorder is so bad I don't know what I would do without it. This medicine has helped my GAD with panic attacks and agoraphobia. I am able to leave the house, drive to work, and basically function as an adult.

Clonidine started working immediately and by day two my BP was down tp 118/72. It does have a very calming and relaxing effect, which can be a tad annoying at work. Plus the dry mouth can be bothersome. But all in all I'm a firm believer in the effectiven ... I have been on Clonindine for a couple of months. My experience has been hair loss and it drained the color from my skin. Anyone else have these side effects... and if so when you stopped taking it did the color return to your skin and the hair quit falling out. I'm depressed over that. Been taking this for a couple of months. I take 1 .1 pill in the evening & a patch all day. I have bad heartburn, breathlessness & tiredness. I go to the dr's in a couple of days & I want off. I will carry it for emergency but that's it. I also take Benicar HCT 40/15. | |||
