  • i loved valium because i couldnt sleep,pain, and nerve issues...the muscle relaxing qualities helped me stay away from oxycodone....i wouldnt take acetameniphen stomach problems and usually get very sick..i have been off my meds for about a month with no doctor....b4 this 3 days of restarting generic from non...3 months b4 that....nothing i lied to him.....felt bad told him cuz he said i was doing much better...b4 that 3 months of 1-3 pills per week, 1-3 was daily..dose....so live with it?love

  • i was on clonaepam because i have anxiety bad and get very physically sick, like hospital sick and then they tell me nothing is wrong with me. I didn't notice much difference while on it , I still wanted to hide away...but i didn't get violently ill like i would. The medication scared me because it is addictive . I stopped on my own and i am back to getting sick and hiding in my house. If I am not going out and I don't work I don't get sick . sigh.. Fun life :/

  • Adderall + very low dose clonazepam worked great for me. Adderall gave me heart palpitations so I had to stop taking it though

  • When taking it the first time make you feel nauseous?

  • If you know you're going to be on pills for the rest of your life you might as well go with benzos. I've been on 2mg-3x a day for 9 years and haven't had an anxiety attack since. I was even allowed to take up to 8mg a day but didn't need it. My Dr. outright said that most Dr's don't know you don't build a tolerance unless you abuse it.Oh, and I hate xanax too. Why not make a xanax\klonopin combo, like the old barb combo, tuinal?

  • You look like Phil Spector!

  • Clonazepam is a drug originally manufactured in Brazil for epilepsy. It is a very dangerous drug as even on a minimum dose can cause deadly seizures. Xanax, Valium and many other drugs are appropriate for anxiety. I suspect that this drug is poppular with doctors because it is not necessary to increase or monitor the dose as tolerance develops, unlike the typical benzos.

  • @Mmmousemaid What? That's not right at all. I have taken clonazepam before and have never had issues. It is pretty addictive though, and you reach a point where 1 pill isn't enough and you have to go for more (and so on).

  • I take clonazepam 2mg tid. Does it really matter if I am addicted as long as it is working?

  • I'm on now 0.5 milligrams of Clonazepam and I'm also taking lamotrigine 25 milligrams with it. Do they mix well together?

  • continued - past 9 weeks. They weren't  meant to be prescribed past 9 weeks, but regulations have been removed in order to allow doctors to prescribe them for longer if needed, but these doctors prescribe them for way too long. These drugs down regulate your GABA receptors the longer you are on them. So the w/d will be more intense and far reaching the longer you are on these pills. THESE DRUGS ARE VERY VERY BAD !! STAY WAY FROM THEM !!

  • i just love this dide's voicee. all chiilll loll

  • Clonazepam has helped my epileptic seizures. Haven't witnessed the addictive effects as I never missed a dose, though I do start shivering 18 to 20 hours after the previous dose. It helped me.

  • Is putting Depakote and Clonazepam mixed together OK?

  • Panic Away - How to Stop Panic Attacks General Anxiety Fast and Depression

    Visit -----> ultimatewowguide.name

  • Is rispiridol the same med as clonazepam

  • @TheWildflower1974 no one is a major tranquilizer and one is minor tranquilizer, one is not addicting and one is

  • I am on 2mg TID of clonazepam. It helps tremendously with my anxiety which is very severe. I am also on 20mg BID of Adderall. Do the two cancel each other out??? I know one is a downer and one is an upper. Is there danger taking both?

  • how many you take at a time bro. i take 10mg and dont feel shit wtf is up with that. this shit is weak. should i go back to zanax?

  • Klonopin did absolutely nothing for my anxiety...ZERO

  • this guys a bller

  • oxys are better. I like pams but I don't see how you could get hooked on it

  • @blingblang1988 you can get more hooked on benzos than opiates. benzodiazepine withdrawals can kill you

  • i dont get why they say strongly addicting , a patient would only become addicted if they werent taking the medication properly,. i take valium i dont care about the connotations that it has, I dont feel addicted to it and only use it for occasional sever insomnia and panic , but i feel like i am properly cared for by my doctors

  • Do you wear the glasses so we can't see you reading off a piece of paper??

  • Doctor, in your experience could a subclinical dose (0.25 mg once a day) of clonazapam (prescribed for a generalized anxiety disorder with some depressive symptoms) actually make anxiety somewhat worse in some cases? That's a very small dose. I actually was prescribed 0.5 mg twice a day but I'm not a fan of being on benzos...

  • RIVOTRIL .ROCHE clonazipam 2mg

  • mmm you.. always making me lick my chops. ou. I only wanted to come by and let you know that my brother was just put on an injectable for schizophrenia. It is good timing. he was starting to get into social trouble. what a relief. every time I come back you titillate me. (biting my pencil) how do you do that?! you are loved.

  • Awesome Video. This Doctor is 100% right-on. Clonazepam is a BAAAAAAAD drug. To get off this shit you'll have to go onto Valium anyhow. And then off the Valium. Use the Ashton Method. Clonazepam is evil!

  • I am a big fan of & have learned a lot from Doctor of Mind, M.D.

    NOTICE: I even caught Doctor of Mind, M.D. use 'psychiatric lingo', i.e. "DISCONTINUATION SYNDROME" to stop Cymbalta (duloxetine).

    When talking about a benzodiazapine or an opitate 99% of doctors will say "DRUG WITHDRAWAL".

    It has taken a LOT of time for people in general to respect & gain trust in the psychiatric community.

    If you can not stop a medication comfortably without other meds or more doctors, it needs ONE TERM.

  • sometimes if you´re benzo dependant some magnesium supplementation will help for anxiety and if you´re very magnesium defficient no benzo will do it

  • im on zoloft and i got prescriped clonazepam and im worried about taking it the doctor told me to take it for sleep is it worth it or should i just fk it and deal with no sleep

  • @SkTzO7 There are better drugs for sleep that won't be addicitve and loose effectiveness like clonazapam will. This drug is best used for waking hours, not as a sleep aid. You may want to ask about trazadone. It's good for sleep. You most likely can split a 50 mg tablet and do well, but you need to consult a doctor.

  • I like Clonazepam. It doesnt create tolerance/dependance as fast as Xanax or Ativan, and one can easily taper from a moderate dose down to a low dose with proper non-bzd meds. Clonazepam is favorable because it has a moderately long half-life like valium but less sedative. It's good for insomnia and anxiety but If you're an aspie or schizoid type, may be good to introduce haldol combined to wipe out the paranoid delusions that clonazepam doesnt help, making u less dependent on klonopin alone

  • how do these drugs (anti anxiety) compare against marijuana, someone suggested i smoke weed instead of take anti anxiety meds

  • @enzyme20056 It depends on your brain chemistry, if you are a "neurotypical" marijuana is less addictive and very helpful for most. However if you happen to have a less stable mind, particularly autism, aspergers, schizophrenia, then marijuana is a HUGE no no and should be avoided alltogether because It can amplify or trigger panic attacks, psychotic thinking etc. Marijuana is poorly understood due to its vast array of unpredictable effects for some, but for most people they seem to like it.

  • @enzyme20056 weed effects different people different ways. also, it depends how much and for how long the person has smoked. the actual quality and strength of (at least) street weed will vary. and it's not possible to go through the day under the influence of it without serious problems with personal relationships and employment...or school. i'm not saying the medical possiblities are not there for some conditions, but really it's not a first-line good choice for anxiety.

  • DUDE.... I want you as my psychiatrist! :D

  • Gday mate.. from australia. i've been watching your vids.. and love them.. i'm prescribed.. up to 6 mg a day of clonazepam by my psch... for (this is where it gets tricky) i went to him,to get off my alprazolam addiction... I was on up to 5 6 mg a day.. of xanax... and i tried to stop... worst feeling in the world... i wanted to die.. i thought my life was over.. thought about suicide alot... that was for the initial 6 or 7 days.. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN... I FELT WORTHY OF LIFE AGAIN...

  • does any body knows what's good to help withdrawals symptoms from clonazepam thank you

  • @TEPARAM not much. But in talking to your doctor about certain anticonvulsants like depakote might help to prevent more serious withdrawal symptoms. as far as comfort goes, pretty much the only thing that can be done during tapering or withdrawal is to avoid things in your diet that cause anxiety and maybe chamomile tea. Still, the doctor would best be able to guide you as different people have very different chemistry and what works for someone could cause harm in another

  • Is clonazepam safe to mix with trazedone at night and lamictal in the morning

  • @mjmula Yes.

  • this guy kind of sounds like jack nicholson in the shining

  • not work good for panic attacks?you forgot to mention From where Clonazepam you gonna take it,Polish Clonazepam just blows you away.and i've tried many none of them work,then doc said,this Polish Clonazepam will work believe me,so i took it,now im hooked on it,so careful guys,its the Booomb it helps,but yeah if you stop taking it,shit hits.take care,wish everyone out of all medication and be healthy.

  • Hi Doctor,

    I have a question and to make it quick:

    1) is there a difference between the generic version vs. the brand version of this drug?

    2) Also, with someone who is depressed/has OCD, what would you recommend taking in conjunction with clonazepam?

  • Dr.MIND I have taken the one two two millngrams of clonazepam and I went the hard times but under supervison it did help the tolerance to my other med at the time which was abilify. I now take Ativan... And Haloperdol. It helps I would like to just ask you i still feel side effects six years later and I would like to know what is the best antipyscotic during the day 2mg and I benzo I still feel restless and agitatied thank you doctor.

  • Was Some Good Shit Serrrrn!

    Made Me Feel So Great! I Acually COUDN'T! Go To Sleep!

  • I can only function on opiates.

  • klonopin sucks combined with MAOI's, they put u to sleep

    Xanax > Klonopin

    klonopin doesnt act 24 hrs, it acts prolly 6 hrs

  • The half life of clonazepam is around 35 hours... so it does work for at least 24 hours.

  • @word85208 The euphoria doesnt last 24 hours, but the anti-anxiety relieve lasts longer then 24 hrs.

  • really silly question: if you take it only a few days then stop can I get withdrawals? I try to keep it to occasional use only, under 1mg. With .75mg being the max. At a mg it is too much of a downer for me.

    There is a lot of fear surrounding the drug, but at the same time it really does the trick, and I never can seem to find that drug where I can just stay on it. The other drugs I've been suggested are far too heavy, or just inappropriate for whatever is that is ailing me.

  • My withdrawal was anxiety/ muscle spasms. I usually g cold turkey and go back from time to time. Would you say that taking it once every few days or a few times in a moth would good? Is it the safest?

  • thnx to my med he switch me from Tafil (alprazolam) to Rivotril (clonazepam), it was indeed nasty

  • I remember Miami Vice!

  • 1/4 of a 0.5 mg once a day for several months. how do you taper down from an already small amount?

  • some useless stuff about clonazepam: it tastes good, like a mint.... alprazolam tastes horrible when bitten.....

  • if u watch this with (CC) subtitles, its aaal about Clinton and condoms :)

  • ive been on Clon. since '93 . It's excellent for the harsh ptsd/anxiety attacks that I get. I don't take it daily or even regularly. Just here n there, quick doses . I am aware of the benzo. withdrawal thing and thus, I don't like to take it frequently .

    i want a clonazepam t-shirt .

  • My prescribed combo: Tramadol 50mg 3x per day, Setraline 100mg 2 tablets at night, clonazepam 2mg at night, Aplenzin 174mg 1 in the am. Diagnosis: Major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, conpromised immune system. Monitored every 8 weeks. Please give your opinion of this combination. Thank you DrOfMind.

  • sometimes doctors seem to focus far to much on the addictive potential and negative things about benzos, i mean at the end of the day a chemical medication no matter what it is has the potential to do harm in some people. all the alarms going off about benzos just takes away the good side to them for those that need them and are leaving some poor people to suffer just cos some docs are too cautious in prescribing just encouraging people to buy them illegally or get into even worse drugs

  • Comment removed

  • @TheMrmoonlight ~that's absolutely right. STILL the negative benzo blitz we are experiencing will be short lived. HAVING said THAT a benzo free existence can only be diserable. Horrible things!!!!

  • @TheMrmoonlight I completely agree, if the patient knows what their medication is chemically and its activity in the brain they should be more informed and in control of their conditions anyway. I finally got some valium after years of torture, initially i was stressed when when i saw that there were no repeats on the prescription. but now just knowing that i have them on stand by if i have a panic attack is calming in its own right. 1.25 mg is enough to calm me down now.

  • white suit = win!

  • I was on clonazepam, had to go back to Xanax XR due to panic attacks.

  • clonazepam is the best anxiety medication hands down- its the only thing that actually helped me.

  • @polarcrazybear Me too, I tried Seroquel but it's just not the same...I don't take a big dose .5 per day or so...

  • @polarcrazybear Thankyou! Some people really need oxy's ....

  • xanax is definetly nasty.... just came down just from 0.5 mg nightly and is giving me withdrawal (not that bad, maybe because the low dose) and klonopin instead is curing me the cold turkey...i already had weaned me off klonopin and had no adverse reactions, but xanax man, nasty withdrawal....

  • Can this be taking twice a day?

  • I take .5mg Clonazepam 1 to 2 times a day (PRN). My body weight is 250+ lbs. Am I at a safe level? Is weight a factor when looking at potential for addiction?

  • How about Tranxène ?

  • WoW!! Really nice vid your vids are definitely getting better :)

  • Good thing I just quit smoking!!! Boy that was a hard choice.

  • It sounds like another dangerous drug. Your looking good tonight doc in that white jacket.

  • Wow! You look really cool tonight!

  • wait till u hear the cocktail im on,i take effentora 600mcg qds,(called fentora over there) diconal 3 tablets tid (which is the very powerful dipipanone 10mg and cyclizine 30mg as a standard tablet) and i was on clonazepam 2mg bid but found it a bit sedating so i switched to 0.5mg qds.all this crap is for 2 herniated disc's in my lower back cant wait to have my op in a few months to be off all tis crap,i imagine its gonna be a long crappy taper,oh the joy. but still better than being in agony.
