[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 333725, member: 1550"] I can tell you what I know about Clonazepan. First of all, I have taken it for over twenty years because it really helps my panic attacks. I was unable to leave the house until I started taking it along with Paroxatine. Secondly, it is habit forming and if I tried to withdraw from it, after all these years, I couldn't. At my age I have no intention of trying life without benzos as it was a crummy life for me, but you should be aware that it has withdrawals. Your son is very young. I find Clonazapen (1 mg. at night) to give me a great sleep and I wake up refreshed. I don't know what it does to my REM sleep, but I don't feel tired during the day. Still, I'd be reluctant to place a child on any benzo. This is a cousin to Valium. It is longer acting and in my opinion far more effective, but it's still a benzo. Did your doctor explain that it will become habit forming? I take a small dose, yet I'm sure my body would have to adjust to my quitting. As far as I know, Clonzapan is not an ADHD medication. It is for many things, primarily anti-seizure and anxiety. [/QUOTE]
