Klonopin, what are your opinions on this drug?

[hardone899]

I have been given klonopin for anxiety. I am suppose to take one a day before work. Is this safe or will i become addicted? Jay

I have never tried that one. All I can say is stay the hell away from Paxil!!

Klonopin is good for your situation

Its long acting and doesnt drop you when it wears of like other benzos. Its easier to get off of than the other shorter acting drugs in its class. All benzos are easy to get accoustomed to but wont be a big problem unless you allow yourself to get into the trap of larger doses. Just keep your head straight that what your taking has powerful effects on your state of mind like alcohol. A couple of beers is ok but not every night and never more. Keep this in mind and you'll be ok. BTW Im on low doses of Clorazapam(Klonopin) myself and ready to stop and know best how to. Pm me if I can help.

My first few days on it felt like the best thing since sliced bread. After that I basically felt very demotivated. Also, come off slowly or you can get into trouble otherwise.

Johnboy, your info is incorrect. Klonopin is a benzo like xanax, but it is more comparable to valium since they both have a much longer half life than xanax and other benzo's such as ativan. A good rule of thumb is that the longer the half life, the less addictive potential associated with the benzo. The only other similarity with xanax is that they are both about equally as potent milligram for milligram, which is like 10-20 times stronger than valium, hence the low dose units they come in, ranging from .25 to 2 mg\pill. Valium on the other hand usually is 10 mg\tab. And as far as euphoric effects, valium and klonopin are superior as far as I'm concerned, whereas xanax mainly works only on immediate anxiety and has a stronger propensity than other benzo's for blacking out. Not a good thing. I've tried all and have never had a problem abstaining from them when I felt like it, but the only one of the three that ever got me in trouble was xanax, which was responsible for several blackout incidences in the past.

The 2 mg Ativan blows away the 1 mg bars of xanax IMO. And the BO's from Ativan were serious. Combine it with alcohol you can lose an entire day or more. Scary shit.
