Sometimes people forget that not all drugs effect everyone exactly the same. What doesn't work or causes bad effects for one person, can work wonderfully for another person.

To hit a therapeutic effect in the body takes approximately two weeks, and then as Paul stated, about a month for the side effects to start to wear off.

Klonopin normally makes you sleepy. It calms your nerves, relaxes you, and makes you go to sleep easier

I have been on klonopin for 2 years now and I'm currently trying to get off of it with the help of my Dr. I was given a different generic brand one time and it messed me up. I can ONLY take Activis! The other was like I never took it.

Hi. I have been taking clonazepam for 7 yrs. it's VERY important to get the best generic version and that is Activis. Only get this brand it works better than the brand. The 1mg pill is yellow, says R34 on one side and scored on the other. It takes about 30-45 minutes to take effect. Peak blood levels are 1-2 hr point. Should last up to 4hrs. Good luck

i have had 4 major back surgeries. 3 of them were bone replacement with titanium plates. 1 lumbar, 2 cervical with 5 levels. 4th. surgery was a tumor formed in my spinal sack. a tumor was wrapped around a nerve. that was no fun at all. then got infection on incesion. 5 weeks of strong antibodics no fun either. i try to be tough & just take tramadiol. i can't sleep for the pain, up & down all nite. need to sleep to recoup & rest this weary body. will klonopin help me? i an just about to stumble & fall.

Of course she will feel pain even if asleep because drugged or to drugged to fight back. Her brain and body will know while and after! she will always know!!!.Rape and serial assault victims of Any Kind have severe traumatic feelings, anxiety, trust issues, depression as any other rape victim or victim of any kind of serial assault.

I agree completely, I was clonazepam for 16 years, I made my life livable. It was my miracle drug, recently again my will, I was taken off off. Now I am back to the panic attacks and all the misery that goes with that. I hate not having my clonazepam. I feel like I have aged 10 yrs, and I am gaining unwanted wait because I stress eat. I would like to find a doctor that will prescribe it back to me. Life sucks without it.

Yes it will help but only take it for a short. Of time and take the lowest dose possible that's still achieves desired effect

Swallow it whole. But it will take about 45 minutes to start taking effect. If you really need it to take effect faster, you can put it under your tongue and leave it there until it completely dissolves and gets absorbed. It will take effect in about 10 - 20 minutes.

Hi Anna. From the time the tablet is ingested, you should begin to feel it in 40 to 60 minutes, closer to 60 minutes (1 hour). If you take it sublingually ( place it under your tongue pressing it down with your tongue allowing some saliva to get in there until the tablet completely dissolves, you should feel it in 20 to 30 minutes. Although sublingually is not the normal route of administration for clonazepam, because it's not time released/delayed release/sustain release/extended release etc., this method is perfectly safe as well as taken orally. Plus, it does hit with a stronger initial punch!

Plus why would you ask that for if your pharmacist did NOT EXPLAIN THE EFFECTS AND ADDICTION PROBLEM THAT ONE MAY RECIEVE THEN THATS ON THEM YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF ALL.

For Dinu, and the others asking how this can be a date rape drug, I learned that ugly truth way before I was actually prescribed it myself. When I was in college a friend was given a couple tablets at a party and she was also drinking, she was told they were Molly, and passed out shortly thereafter. She awoke the next day to find herself in a state of being half dressed and groggy and thought something might have happened to her, so she went to the hospital to be examined. Blood work and a rape kit both confirmed her worst fears. She had indeed been raped but anally instead of vaginally. When she asked the doctors how she couldn't feel such a thing happening to her, she was told these relax all the muscles in your body while passed out, thus bypassing the actual pain factor you get when all tensed up. So I highly suggest you stick to the no alcohol rule when taking clonazepam.
