07 Jul 2011 Klonopins have been a life saver in helping control my panic attacks. After a severe emotional breakdown requiring hospitalization in 2009 I suffered very intense and very frequent anxiety attacks. I am still taking 1 pill every morning with my anti depressant and almost every night for sleep but only occasionally require anymore due to any attacks

14 Oct 2010 Klonopin changed my life! I never thought I could go to a party and socialize and not even think for a second about what others were thinking of me! Now I can make friends. Now I can find a life partner--- except--- Klonopin destroyed every ounce of my ability to have sexual feeling.

06 Jun 2010 I've been on Klonopin since the end of April. My doctors figured out the problem I was having wasnt anxiety so they are taking me off the Klonopin. I am having hot flashes, very irritable, and am having mild anxiety. It works for anxiety but it makes me really tired. Its hard to stay awake all day without taking a nap.
