What Is Klonopin?
Klonopin, also known as clonazepam, is a drug prescribed to control and prevent seizures by calming your brain and nerves. Clonazepam is also a known benzodiazepine, a class of drugs that are used as sedatives and tranquilizers. Other types of benzos include Valium, Ativan, and Xanax. In addition to its effectiveness in treating seizures, it’s also prescribed to treat panic attacks. Klonopin comes in tablet form and has been in circulation since the 1970s.
Klonopin is also used to treat:
- Anxiety
- Epilepsy
- Bipolar disorder
In addition to the calming effects, other side effects associated with Klonopin include memory loss, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, and frequent urination. Some more serious side effects that may need medical attention include rashes, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Because all benzos are classified as Schedule IV drugs, they’re not as monitored as some drugs, like opioids, but they’re still highly addictive. Because Klonopin is a more effective drug and its effects set in fairly quickly, many people are drawn to using it recreationally. However, this also means the body can develop a tolerance quickly, which is how addiction can develop.
Symptoms of Klonopin Addiction
- Vertigo
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Fainting
- Impaired judgement
Signs of Klonopin Withdrawal
One of the best ways to determine whether you’re addicted to Klonopin, or any drug, is to stop using it for a certain amount of time and see whether you exhibit symptoms of withdrawal, which is how your brain and body react in the absence of a substance they’re dependent on.
Klonopin withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable and painful, which is one of many reasons why people with addictions don’t want to quit using. Some of these symptoms include weight loss, seizures, hallucinations. Insomnia, and elevated heart rate and blood pressure. Some people report nightmares and muscle spasms, too.
