Yes they have side effects...but depression is worse. Ever live with a bipolar rapid cycler ? I have. Lots of fun for both he and I...not to mention constantly having to watch for a rapid down turn and a suiside attempt (to many to count) Traditional meds were of no help...some made the cycling worse. Thank god for the right anti seizure med. Finally I was able to let sharp objects into my life again !

I am on this medication for Panic Disorder...
Panic comes in clusters and can stop and go away for a month a year or forever..my big problem is that my Doc would not help me get off of it.
In reply to Klonoman.....yes it is apples to oranges.The 1mg is a drop in the bucket compared to 15mg a day plus zoloft. I am a totally different person without it. Hey....I will be the first to admit that tomorrow I may have to buy back into this drug. Hoever I will try others first before I go with Klonopin @15mg a day.....KG
