Any one take clonipin for seizures

[wendyhud]

My son has been taking phenobarb for his seizures but it is making his ADHA worse. I would like to know if any one is taking clonipin.

i have been taking clonipn for 8 months . my doc used it to wean me off xanax wich i took for 4 years...i found it to be great ,because i dont feel as dependant on it like i did the xanax.

Until my recent pregnancy, I had been taking clonipin for seizures for at least 5 years. I didn't have any severe side effects, and it worked well with my other seizure medications (carbatrol and neurontin) to cut down on the number of seizures I was having. In fact, I had been seizure-free for several months, although since I had to quit taking it I have had some tiny ones.

you guys mean KLONOPIN? aka clonozepam

i guess it all depends on the person, because I feel extremely dependent on klonopin
I take .5 2x a day
and tegretol.

I took Klonopin for about 2 years. I hated it!!! I was tired all the time, it affected my speech and my memory plus it was a bugger to wean off.

It is very addicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doctors at UCLA absolutley hate the drug. Please do not put your son on it if you do not have to.
