Clonazepam Information:

• What

What is clonazepam?

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine drug meaning that it is an anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, sedative, hypnotic and anxiolytic (stops anxiety). Clonazepam is used to treat panic attack, anxiety disorders, and migraines as well as control seizures. Clonazepam acts on the GABA receptors in the central nervous system to control abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Clonazepam is the generic form of the drug Klonopin.

• How

How do I take clonazepam?

Clonazepam can be purchased at your local pharmacy as a tablet or an orally dissolving tablet. You may only buy clonazepam with a prescription. This medication is usually taken with a full glass of water one to three times daily. Dissolving clonazepam tablets should not be pushed through foil packaging, rather foil should be pulled back and the tablet should be placed in mouth immediately to avoid breaking or losing part of the tablet.

Clonazepam should be taken at regular intervals throughout the day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take clonazepam exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it than what is prescribed by your doctor.

Continue doses of clonazepam even if you feel better. Never stop taking clonazepam without asking your doctor first, even if you experience side effects such as unusual changes in behavior or mood. If you suddenly stop taking clonazepam withdrawal symptoms such as problems sleeping, nausea, anxiety, pain, and sweating may occur. If taking clonazepam to treat seizures, a sudden stop in medicating may cause you to experience seizures more frequently. 

• Precautions

Before taking clonazepam, tell your doctor if:

• You are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
• You are taking herbal products, especially St. John's wort.

If you are going to have surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking clonazepam.

It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. Bring this list with you when you visit the doctor to get a prescription for clonazepam and each time you visit a doctor or are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

• Missed Dose

What should I do if I forget a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

 

• Side Effects

What are the possible side effects of taking clonazepam?

Clonazepam can have unwanted side effects on mental health such as depression and suicidal thoughts. A small number of adults and children 5 years of age and older (about 1 in 500 people) who took anti-epileptics such as clonazepam during clinical studies became suicidal during their treatment. Some of these people developed suicidal thoughts and behavior as early as one week after they started taking the medication. However, if your condition is not treated, mental changes to your health could also occur. You and your doctor will decide whether the risks of taking an anti-epileptic medication are greater than the risks of not taking the medication.

The patient or the patient’s caregiver should call the doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms occur: panic attacks, agitation or restlessness, new or worsening irritability, anxiety, or depression, acting on dangerous impulses, difficulty sleeping, aggressive, angry, or violent behavior, mania (unusually excited mood), talking or thinking about wanting to hurt oneself or commit suicide, withdrawing from friends and family, preoccupation with death and dying, giving away treasured belongings, or any other unusual changes in behavior or mood.

Be sure that the caregiver knows which symptoms may be serious so he or she will call the doctor if the individual taking the medication is unable to seek treatment.

Other side effects include:

• Drowsiness
• Euphoria
• Confusion
• Irritability or aggression
• Loss of libido
• Impaired motor function
• Hallucinations

These are not all the side effects of taking clonazepam. Clonazepam may cause other side effects. Report severe side effects and changes in mood to your doctor immediately.

• Storage

How do I store clonazepam?

After buying clonazepam at your pharmacy, store it in the container it came in. Keep it closed properly and out of reach of children. Store the tablets, extended-release tablets, and capsules at room temperature in a dry place. Try not to store this medication in the bathroom as excessive moisture could affect the medication. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about safe disposal of your medication.

• Overdose

What happens if I overdose on clonazepam?

An individual who has overdosed on clonazepam may experience:

• Difficulty stay staying awake
• Confusion
• Nausea
• Impaired motor function
• Dizziness
• High blood pressure
• Fainting
• Coma

Comas due to an overdose of clonazepam can be cyclic, meaning the individual may come out of the coma and go into a hyper alert state, then fall back into a coma. If you or someone you know overdoses on clonazepam, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim is unconscious or not breathing call 911 emergency services.
