Hey everybody. I was just wondering if any of you here are on, or did take clonazepam, did it work for you?? If so, what dosage did you take, and what relief did it give you? I have a new "GP", and she is switching my meds on me. She has me taking 1 mg. of clonazepam 2 x a day, but, I am also still taking 2, 15 mg's of another drug in between, (so I won't have withdrawal symptoms). She is trying to switch me completely to the clonazepam dose. I also take a "high" dose of serc everyday as well......24 mg's, 4x/daily. I'm bilateral, and have had MM now for 14 yrs. Any in put would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
i take .5mg every night before bed; helps keep the demons at bay; took serc for years; i think it helped keep me from fulll blown vertigo; stopped it about 3 months ago along with diuretics; taking treatment from australia; time will tell good luck
I’ve been taking 1MG at bedtime for about 20 years, however, it’s part of my anti-anxiety regimen (along with Nardil). I discovered that when I have a slight tinge of dizziness, letting 1MG of Clonazepam dissolve under my tongue generally fixes it. Good luck all.
Just read this note, my mom was on Clonazepam for years. She had a doctor that called in her refill to take it morning/night and immediately had issues. That drug only was effective taken at night only. Otherwise my mother had all kinds of issues (depression return, irritable, etc..) Like almost immediately. Thought it was interesting to share the warning for Clonazepam: Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, depression, anxiety, or if you feel agitated, irritable, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself. Another question I have is the "why" she feels it important to change your med as long as it is still working for you. I understand that the Oxezepam is addictive - but so is clonazepam. Both can have long term impact to your kidney or liver - so not sure the true benefit of switching. IF your medication was no longer working for you, then it makes sense but in this case it would appear that your doctor needs to improve communication on the "why". In the meantime, I personally would try taking the med at night only.....BUT I am not a doctor nor have I ever taken that drug.
I was prescribed 0.5 as needed for anxiety bc I have very bad panic attacks sometimes. I'm not sure whether or not it helps with Meniere's, I stick to gravol; it works best for me.
Anxiety disorder is caused by faulty, or overly-sensitive, neurotransmitters in the brain. They send a false "time to fear" message to the chemoreceptors. Basically, a chemical imbalance which must be treated with specific medication(s). Perhaps you should find a psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety disorder. It took me years of shrink-shopping, and then, when one was found, it took a few months of trial-and error to find the regimen that works for me. My regimen is “3 tablets (Nardil 15mg) daily, alternating with 2 tablets every other day" + "Clonazepam 1mg every evening at 10pm". Also, Xanax is (IMHO) the best, and fastest, quick fix for a panic attack.
For what it's worth, I have read that a lot of people have done well on Amitriptyline which seems to not just help with depression but somehow also works with the nervous system. In high doses, long term I know that Amitriptyline is very hard on the liver. One "positive" (and I use the term positive loosely) is that any withdrawl symptoms that you are going through switching from your current med over to clonazepam should go away in the next couple of weeks.
