"i was prescribed clonazepam on a situational basis, to help manage infrequent but severe anxiety attacks. although i do find this drug does help to take the edge off in stressful situations like an interview or a crowded concert, the side effects and withdrawal symptoms are far too negative. while on it i feel drowsy and forgetful, and the next day and even up to two or three days later, i get depressed (more than i normally am) and cry a lot. the last time i took it i had severe depression and even suicidal thoughts (which i never have really had before) for two full days after. that scared me enough to not want to ever take it again.. i highly recommend being careful and doing your research when it comes to clonazepam."
