I wonder if Klonopin absorbtion interacts with any antibiotics. I'm taking tetracycline for my eyes.
Also, is it better to take Klonopin without foods or is it the same?

I don't know at all about antibiotics. I have not noticed any differences when taking it with food or without.

So far I've noticed no difference whether or not I take Klonopin with or without food. But for the most part I take it in the morning and I NEVER eat breakfast...so I'm always taking it on an empty stomach. However at night I take it a couple hours after dinner and usually feel just about the same.
The one thing I have noticed as far as food goes is that Klonopin absolutely kills my appetite, almost completely. Has anyone else experienced this or have any clue why it happens? So far I haven't been able to find many experiencing the same.

If I take Klonopin in empty stomach I fell nausea. I usually eat just a cookie in the morning not to feel that, because I also never eat breakfast.
Klonopin doesn't less my appetite, but it is easier to wait for the food when I am hungry. Also, I used to eat much more because it helped me to control the anxiety. Could it be your case?

Kxo,
Perthaps you are right. My eating habits used to be generally weird. I wouldn't eat excessively, all the time, but when I did eat I usually preferred some kind of extremely fatty fast food in large amounts. I dont know if this is anxiety related, or simply related to being raised on mcdonalds. I also use my extremely high metabolism as an excuse to enjoy these types of foods, as I am far from overweight. (Not the ideal excuse, I know). Anyway, to my point...If the "lack of appetite" I am experiencing is really just my normal appetite, minus the anxiety controlling it then I seriously don't require much food intake.
I am 20 years old. I used to skip breakfast, eat a large lunch, be starved by dinner and eat a good amount then, and then maybe a snack later on. Now I'm at the point where I find me forcing myself to simply eat lunch because I think I should eat, and even when I do this I can barely finish a small sandwich and a bag of chips. Then once dinner rolls around......IF i'm even hungry at all I dont eat a whole lot. Forget any kind of snacking...food just doesn't interest me at all lately.
I definitely feel that some of this is due to the anxiety relief I am experiencing, but I cannot help but think that something else is at play in regards to taking the Klonopin, but perhaps I am wrong.

LOL
I wish it killed my appetite!
I think that once I come down from a sense of panic into a sense of well-being I remember that food is good......very good.....lots of food. Klon is not as bad as neurontin.Unfortunately for me, intense anxiety is the best appetite supressant for me :(. Actually, as many can attest to, it surpresses everything......
