I've been diagnosed it PRN. Has anyone been on it?
What are the side effects?
What does it do?
Replies appriciated. Thanks x

No, not been on it. You should have been told why you were prescribed it and when to take it, and what the side effects are. Some of that information should be on the leaflet inside the box.

If you haven't been told, make an appointment with your doctor to find out.

Otherwise, there's probably more information if you do a google search.

I take it. I have an anxiety disorder and it calms me down. I love it, it works very well for me.

I would be careful taking it for the first few weeks because before I built up a tolerance for it I got loopy for about an hour after taking a dose.

Side effects? A big one is drowsiness. And as already stated, it is highly addictive so only take your percribed dosage. Hope this helps.

I had it PRN while in secure and it drugged me up like crazy. The withdrawal was horrible.

I've had clonazepam for anxiety. I've found it very beneficial, but easy to abuse. The only problem, is it makes me a little loopy/high/floaty, but I suppose that's all in it working. And it lowered my alcohol tolerance.

To be fair, in regards to reading the leaflet, on mine, it had absolutely nothing written on it about use for anxiety. It was purely written as an anti-epileptic drug. It tends to be used more off-label for anxiety and suchlike, I don't know why.
