Clozapine vs Klonopin
 | Clozapine |  | Klonopin |  |
| This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders). Clozapine is a psychiatric medication (anti-psychotic type) that works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Clozapine decreases hallucinations and helps prevent suicide in people who are likely to try to harm themselves. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. | Clonazepam is used to prevent and control seizures. Klonopin is known as an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug. It is also used to treat panic attacks. Clonazepam works by calming your brain and nerves. It belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. | |||

| Add Clozapine review I am the younger brother and legal guardian to a 55 year old femal that has been on this treatment (colzapine) for approximately 20 years and we are finding that there are many problems after prolonged use of this medication. The reason that this treatment was sought was because the alternitive tretments were so devistateing to her general health and mental behavior. The alternitive medications were stelzine, thorzine, and heldol. Currently she is recieving 500 mg per day of clozapine along with other medications but as of the last 6 months she has been experianceing total regression of her illness, in other words she now is worse than she's been in the past 15 years. I would like to find a alternitive to clozapine. I would like to try a medication that was designed for a female if at all possible. She has been hospitalized 4 times in the last 6 months and I'm running out of options. Any sugestions would be greatly appretiated. I have been taken high dosage of this medication for 6 yrs now. It has helped but still periodically suffer setbacks. Mostly obsessing and depression but have recently been given medications for those conditions. | Add Klonopin review It is working much better than the xanax and I like the brand mylan better than the teva.. Hope this helps some out there.. This medication is awesome, I feel at ease taking this medication I've been taking the pills for around 1.5 years now and my Dr recently increased my doseage to keep me calm and relaxed in my stressful work place "Telecommunications Call Center Agent". panicattacks I have been on this medication a couple of months and it is wonderful. I am calm and can function without all the anxiety that I am so used to feeling that keeps me a mess so that I can't get anything accomplished. I would like to stay on this the rest of my life. I am 59. | |||
