In reply to Klonopin: interfear with your breathing patterns?, posted by qbsbrown on October 4, 2006, at 22:46:11
Interesting. I've had panic episodes where I couldn't breathe right (or at all), went to emergency room on several occasions because of it, and was "cured" with xanax. I have a friend who couldn't breathe right when he was stressed, and they gave him a low dose of xanax to take regularly. (Why always xanax with breathing?) But I use klonopin now, and I am uncertain about its effects on breathing, even though it's supposed to be a mild anticonvulsant and muscle relaxer. I heard that use of klonopin at night can cause or worsen gastro-reflux by relaxing that muscle which keeps the stomache from backing up, so it would make sense then that it might also relax lungs??
