"3 years after being diagnosed with bipolar 1, i was put on 2 mg of rivotril to be taken at night following a car accident. when it was prescribed, i was in a poor state of mental health and was suffering from extreme agitation and horrible nightmares. after taking clonazepam for a while, i noticed that not only did it calm agitation, but it helped stabilize my mood. it has made my mood more consistent and improved it dramatically. i consistently feel calm, positive, and mentally stable. i&#039;ve been prescribed other benzodiazepines in the past, but clonazepam has by far been the most effective. overall, an excellent medication also considering that it isn&#039;t subject to metabolite accumulation."
