Klonopin is a benzodiazepine drug that is used for the treatment of seizures. It may also be prescribed for patients with panic disorder. Klonopin is available in regular tablets and dissolving tablets called Klonopin wafers. Generic Klonopin is sold under the name Clonazepam.
Klonopin side effects range from minor, such as depression, constipation, and drowsiness, to major side effects like jaundice (yellowing of the skin), hallucinations, and seizures. Major side effects and allergic reactions require immediate medical attention. Alcohol may increase your chance of seizure, so do not use alcohol while taking Klonopin. Kolonopin's effectiveness may be decreased by smoking, so patients should not smoke. Klonopin is a class "D" drug, so it should never be taken by pregnant or nursing women. Let your doctor know right away if you become pregnant while you are taking Klonopin. Patients with kidney, liver, or respiratory disease, and other medical conditions, may be advised against taking Klonopin. Certain medications, like antihistamines and drugs that may cause drowsiness, should not be taken with Klonopin. Discuss your complete medical history, including medications you are taking, with your doctor before beginning to take Klonopin.
You should never take Klonopin without a prescription. Klonopin is extremely habit forming. It is possible to become mentally addicted to Klonopin, physically addicted, or both. Many people who abuse it do so by crushing and snorting the pills. This is a very dangerous practice that may lead to overdose. Symptoms of overdose include dizziness, slow heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. Overdose symptoms should not be ignored. They require immediate medical care, as they may be fatal if left untreated. Even patients who do not abuse Klonopin must be careful to follow their prescribed dosage exactly. Since Klonopin has a half life of 18 to 50 hours, simply taking doses too close together may cause overdose. Do not suddenly stop or decrease your dosage without your doctor's approval, especially if your have been taking Klonopin for more than a week. He or she may remove you from Klonopin by gradual tapering of your dosage, to avoid Klonopin withdrawal.
