Clonazepam
Clonazepam (Rivotril)
Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril, Povanil) is an anti-anxiety medication in the
benzodiazepine family, the same family that includes diazepam (Valium), alprazolam
(Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), flurazepam (Dalmane), and others.
Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril, Povanil) and other benzodiazepines act by enhancing
the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter
(a chemical that nerve cells use to communicate with each other) which inhibits
many of the activities of the brain. It is believed that excessive activity in
the brain may lead to anxiety or other psychiatric disorders. Clonazepam (Klonopin,
Rivotril, Povanil) also is used to prevent certain types of seizures.

to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment

about Clonazepam (Rivotril)
Common uses Clonazepam
Clonazepam is used for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. It is
used for certain types of seizures, specifically petit mal seizures, akinetic
seizures, and myoclonus, as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. For these seizure
disorders, clonazepam may be used alone or together with other medications.
Clonazepam also is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, twitching,
schizophrenia, and pain management. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks
of using this drug for your condition.
Directions Clonazepam
Clonazepam comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken three times
a day and may be taken with or without food. Take clonazepam exactly as
directed.
Clonazepam can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose, take it more often,
or for a longer time than your doctor tells you to. Tolerance may develop with
long-term or excessive use, making the drug less effective. Clonazepam must
be taken regularly to be effective. Do not skip doses even if you feel that
you do not need them. Do not take clonazepam for more than 4 months or stop
taking this medication without talking to your doctor. Stopping the drug suddenly
can worsen your condition and cause withdrawal symptoms (anxiousness, sleeplessness,
and irritability). Your doctor probably will decrease your dose gradually.
If you
take several doses per day and miss a dose, skip the missed
dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take
a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Precautions Clonazepam
Before taking clonazepam, tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic
to clonazepam, alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, clorazepate, diazepam, estazolam,
flurazepam, lorazepam, oxazepam, prazepam, temazepam, triazolam, or any other
drugs.
Tell your doctor what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking,
especially antihistamines, cimetadine, digoxin, disulfiram, fluoxetine, isoniazide,
ketoconazole, levodopa, larodopa, medications for depression, seizures, pain,
Parkinson's disease, asthma, colds, or allergies, metoprolol, muscle relaxants,
oral contraceptives, oral antifungals, phenytoin, probenecid, propoxyphene, propranolol,
rifampin, sedatives, sleeping pills, theophylline, tranquilizers, valproic acid
and vitamins. These medications may add to the drowsiness caused by clonazepam. Tell
your doctor if you have or have ever had glaucoma, seizures, or lung, heart,
or liver disease. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant,
or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking clonazepam, call your
doctor immediately. You should not nurse a baby while taking clonazepam. If
you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist
that you are taking clonazepam. You
should know that clonazepam may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate
machinery until you know how clonazepam affects you. Remember that alcohol can
add to the drowsiness caused by clonazepam. You should avoid drinking alcohol
while taking clonazepam. Tell your doctor if you use tobacco products. Cigarette
smoking may decrease the effectiveness of clonazepam.
Possible
side effects Clonazepam
The most commonly noted side effects associated with clonazepam are sedation,
dizziness, weakness, and unsteadiness. Other side effects include a feeling
of depression, loss of orientation, headache, and sleep disturbance.
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: restlessness
or excitement, constipation, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blurred
vision, changes in sex drive or ability.
If you
experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor
immediately: seizures, shuffling walk, persistent, fine tremor
or inability to sit still, fever, difficulty breathing or
swallowing, severe skin rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes,
irregular heartbeat.
Overdose Clonazepam
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center. If the victim has
collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services.
Additional
information Clonazepam
Keep clonazepam in a tightly closed container and out of reach of children.
Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in
the bathroom).
Clonazepam and other benzodiazepines have been associated with fetal damage,
including congenital malformations, when taken by pregnant women in their first
trimester. Clonazepam is best avoided in the first trimester, and probably
throughout pregnancy.
If you
are taking clonazepam to control seizures and have an increase
in their frequency or severity, call your doctor. Your dose
may need to be adjusted. If you use clonazepam for seizures,
carry identification stating that you have epilepsy and that
you are taking clonazepam.
