Tell me about this drug called Clonazepam

[Guest guest]

My doc just gave me an RX for it, for anxiety, because I'm going to

quit smoking. Can you tell me if you've been on it, what are/were your

side effects from it.

Thanks,

Leigh

I took it one time for anxiety and it did me quite well. the only side effects

i had was drowsiness. i tried only to take it at night if at all possible.

By the way congrats for trying to quit. i have a box of patches in my kitchen

and dont have the nerve to put one on. let me know how you are doing.

I would have a ton more money if i would quit and i know that. good luck connie

(and probably a few more years also) my kids beg me to quit)

HI leigh Clonazepam /Klonopin is a long acting benzodiazapine the

same class of medcation as Valuim and Xanax . it is used more c

often because it is slow acting and longlasting it is much more

potent than diazepam (Valuim). But has less side effects and though

it cuases tolerance . It is used for a number of condtions from

seizures, pani disorder , uncontrolable stess, neuromuscular pain

and muscle spasms or twitches . relstlessleg syndrome and

neuropathy .

It will probably help you relax a bit though not as fast or

as stongly felt as Xanax is both are reasonbly safe drugs that

have been helpful for pain paitnets al;ong with diazepam, and

Ativan /Lorazepam . All are relativley inexspensive generically

though if you are on medicares part D they are not covered no thanks

to the anti drug prohibtionists yet many elderly anddiasbled

peopledep3nd on them to get through the day with out a painc attack

or pain associated with muscle tension and that so often comes

with many condtions that casue cronic pain this is just plain

cruel and misguided to deny them assisitance to pay for a needed

med.

Weare now " discovering " trhat medicinces we once thought

highly " addictive " are not narcotic pain relievers and

benzodiazepins being just tweo . and drugs that are safe simply

becase they do not produce a high are now being seen for the

dangerous substances they are see NSIASDs such as ibuprohen and

Acetaminophen which damge the gi tract kidneys reanl system and

liver repstivly and the renalk system with both . or the COX 2

inhibitors that cuase myocardail infartions and strokes along with

GI bleeding nice Ill take drowsynessand constiption over all that

any time .
