clonpin (spelling?)

Post Reply New Topic

My DR just prescibed clinopin for my sensory overload. It settles my body down but not my mind. Almost like I feel traped in my body, I can't do stuff to get over the feeling, like rock etc. It did not calm me down as I expected. I only tried it once, I'm not sure I want to try it again. Anyone else have experience with it?

Thx!

I'd let your doctor know that the medication isn't working correctly immediately. Medications in that family are known to have "paradoxical" effects on some people.

I took Klonopin for two months and it made my problems MUCH worse in that time period. Anxiety just got worse and worse while on it and then when I stopped I had severe insomnia and akathisia (I felt like I couldn't get comfortable in my own skin and just wanted somebody to crush me with a giant sledge hammer).

Oh, my. that sounds like something that an NT observer might think was actually helping, if it makes you not rock, etc., when in fact you actually feel worse. I think it sounds like something to avoid.

I am prescribed a low dosage of colonzapam..(or however it is spelled)...generic colonopin....in addition to my Adderall...I tell my doctor that it calms me down in some ways, but I still feel anxious on the inside...so I sorta relate to the "trapped in your body" idea...also I am to only take it when I need it, and i find myself "needing" it mainly when i have to interact with other people..often in the evening..or...I have taken it in order to help with anxiety I have experienced when having to deal with clashing personalities and unexpected events...basic sensory overload...situations beyond my control....and I can find myself "not anxious", but sometimes in a really bad or depressed mood from it...
