Can you please give more details as to four what you're talking clonazepam.
It is usually not advisable to increase dosages of such drugs like clonazepam as they have an impact on your brain. Whether you're taking it for seizures or as an anti-anxiety drug you should never alter the dose without your doctors advice.
Please consult your doctor who prescribed the medicine. If it is a single isolated incident I guess it's all right. But my sincere request and advice to you is to not repeat ...more

Dear Narendra,

Sir, I strongly recommend that you take him for counseling too. The combination of medication with therapy will definitely help in recovering from this condition and eventually stopping the medication. Anxiety has all to do with fear and your inability (or so you would tend to think) to handle the same. Fear is based on looking too much into the future and imagining things that usually do not tend to happen (usually 90% of your fears will not happen) and expecting too much out of yourself. You n...more

I am anxiety patient since last 11 years. Now my age is 33. At the beginning it was very very severe. Consult so many psychiatrist they gave medicine. Condition got worst. Over thinking, fear,negative thought, so ma ny panic attacks in a day, was all over me. After that I diagnostic with high blood pressure. Obesity 110 kg having high cholesterol. I am taking fibator 10 mg since 8 years. I meet one psychiatrist. He suggested me to take high doses. It shows some result about 5%.i left my city after 5 years and came to new state for business. I am in very nice space. Now I am not afraid of death. But still my had continued my medicine. I am taking clonam 2 mg (twice a day) since 8 years, daxid 100 mg (thrice a day) since 8 years, tenormin 25 mg once in a day, fibator 10 mg once a day, qutan 25 at night, indira 20 mg night, ciladuo 5 mg once. U left qutan 25 and 1 daxid 100 mg now since 1 year. I make one mistake after shifting to other state I was not in tough with my doc. He is very nice doctor. My only worry is I had 5taken clonam 2 mg (twice) for 8 years and daxid 100 (thrice) for 8 years. I read consumption of clonazepam for long time causes death. Same with daxid. I am little worried. Pls someone through light in my condition.

In your case, your obesity is more dangerous than any medication, so do not worry about clonam. Also, your worries are part of anxiety disorder - no need to work on every thought. Keep taking the medications as your disorder will cause more harm than medications. If you are very concerned, consult a psychiatrist who is available near you.

Rivotril is clonazepam a benzodiazepine which relieves anxiety symptoms but doesn't act on the cause of reduced serotonin, which causes anxiety. Also benzodiazepines are harmful on a longer run. So consult a psychiatrist and switch to ssri or snri group of medications gradually weaning you of the benzodiazepines would be the ideal treatment. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, clonazepam is habit forming and over time it starts to lose its efficacy. Meaning, in the beginning, a 0.25 mg dose would put you to sleep, over a period of time, you will find difficulty sleeping at same dose. Now that you have completed 3 years with clonazepam, I would suggest you to try to find an alternative before stopping it. There are several herbal medicines available that help in sleep management. You may consult me for that.
