Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative with anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and anxiolytic properties. It is marketed by Roche under the trade-names Klonopin in the United States, and Ravotril in Chile. Other names like Rivotril or Rivatril are known throughout the large majority of the rest of the world. Clonazepam is a chlorinated derivative of nitrazepam and therefore a nitrobenzodiazepine.

I've been taking Klonopin for only a week now. Kept going to doctors and telling them about my anxiety, they kept prescribing me antidepressants (many of which made me very emotional). Finally I was sent to a psychiatrist who prescribed 1mg Klonopin before bed and 50mg Pristiq every morning for the depression side of it. The Klonopin has been incredible. Makes me feel normal, much like I felt several years ago before all of the anxiety developed!! As for the Pristiq, I can't tell anything yet but I'll give it a while....

I'm taking 2.5 mg twice a day for migraine prevention and chronic daily headahces, and it works great. I would much rather deal with the mild sedation it causes than the pain I was going through. I can get out and do stuff more often now. Before klonopin I was laying in bed crying from the pain most of the time. Anyone who says they would rather deal with the headaches than the drugs has not been in as much pain as I have.
