Klonopin: Effective Remedy to Treat Seizures

Commonly, Klonopin is taken to control and prevent seizures because it belongs to effective antiepileptic and anticonvulsant meds. Some patients also use it to treat their panic attacks, and this medicine works by calming their nerves and brain. Remember that it belongs to a group of drugs called Benzodiazepines.

Basic Details to Understand

Klonopin is a popular anti-anxiety medicine that functions by improving the effects of GABA in the brain. Primarily, it’s used to prevent different seizure types and panic disorders. Besides, you need to get more information about the adverse effects that you may experience when undergoing this treatment, and they may include the following:

• Dizziness;
• Sedation;       
• Loss of orientation;   
• Depression;
• Unusual weakness;
• Headaches;
• Sleep difficulty;
• Unsteadiness.

Don’t forget that the intake of Klonopin may result in physical dependency, so that you can’t stop using it suddenly because you risk ending up with certain unwanted withdrawal symptoms, such as insomnia, agitation, depression, tremors, seizures, vomiting, muscle cramps, sweating, etc. That’s why it’s necessary to stop this treatment gradually after consulting your doctor. Another important detail is that those patients who undergo it must be monitored for their clinical worsening, unusual behavioral changes and suicidal thoughts.

Doses and Preparations

Nowadays you can find Klonopin as both standard and disintegrating tablets available in different strengths, from 0.5 mg to 2 mg. Keep in mind that your regular dose must be tailored to your needs and important factors. For those patients who want to treat seizures, you need to take 1.5 mg 3 times a day, but your maximum dose is 20 mg. It can be both reduced and increased by doctors according to your individual response and effectiveness.

Risky Drug Combinations and Important Precautions

When taking Klonopin make sure that you don’t combine it with certain drugs because it may accentuate their effects and result in increased sedation. This can be said for alcoholic beverages, pills that slow down brain processes, narcotics, barbiturates, etc. For nursing and pregnant women, it’s not allowed to take this medicine to prevent certain health complications.

Before you start using Klonopin, make sure that your doctors know everything about your allergic reactions and other health conditions, especially if they include different eye problems, kidney and liver complications, breathing and lung conditions, mood and mental issues, drug or alcohol abuse and so on. Finally, this medication can make you feel drowsy and dizzy, so you shouldn’t do anything that demands your complete alertness. You also need to avoid drinking alcohol and give your doctor a list of other meds that you take. For older patients, your sensitivity to side effects is increased, including confusion and drowsiness, and you are at risk of falling.
