>1) How long have you been on Klonopin?
On and off for about five years, pretty consistently for the past two and half years.
>2) What is your dosage?
8mg twice daily
>3) What is the HIGHEST doase you ever took?
10mg twice daily
>4) What other meds are you cutrrently OR taken in the past WITH Klonopin?
Just started Xyrem (GHB) and 5mg Dexedrine two days ago. I've tried practically everything along with the clonazepam in the past though.
>5) Did you GAIN any amount of weight on Klonolpin?
Lost a little, actually.
>6) For women only-did the use of Klonopin alter your menstrual cycle, increase PMS, breast tenderness?
N/A
>7) Did you get migraines at all on Klonopin?
I've always had occasional migraines but they haven't gotten any worse since starting the clonazepam.
>8) Have ever withdrawed off of Klonopin, what, if any, were the negative you experienced?
I've gone off clonazepam many times, but never had any problems at all with withdrawal. Xanax was another story entirely though, just awful. Numb, tingling sensation all over my body, so weak I couldn't stand up, nausea, cold sweats... I'll never touch that stuff again.
>9) Overall-your opinion of the use of Klonopin?
Let me put it this way: if clonazepam were ever taken off the market (god forbid) and all I could do was choose between any of the other benzos, you can bet your life I'd run straight to start taking an organic chemistry class so I could manufacture my own! lol... funny though, I'm actually dead serious.
>Better than any other benzos for you personally?
Better than all of them, hands down. For me it seems to take a few weeks to begin working when first start taking it, which is great. No instant gratification = no abuse potential.
