Ann it is possible that she is on too high of a dosage or taking too much and needs to speak to her doctor.

Klonopin contains the active ingredient Clonazepam, this is a very potent medication of the Benzodiazepine class, so easily abused and highly addictive.

It is commonly used to treat various conditions from insomnia to nervous disorders.

Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, impaired motor function and cognitive impairments.

This is not normally prescribed for depression, since it has such sedating qualities. Do you know if she's using it as prescribed?

Please, let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Thanks for the info. Since my posting, my friend has seen a counselor and is taking subutex. I hope it will work - he is taking 2 1/2 per day. One day at a time for now.

Get into a drug program. Talk to a doctor about the implications to his system if you stop useing. (It can be fatal if not done with care) Join NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS. If you care about stopping the abuse of drugs- you must STOP all mild altering substances to get a lifestyle that is not dependent on anything. Your friend can physically not be dependent just after 10-14 days- but the emotional side to addiction is a life long problem that will NEVER leave. Once you get past the physical withdrawls, the lifestyle changes a person makes is the deciding factor if you will stay clean or not.
Some need a 30 day spin dry to get over the physical- but nothing can cure your mental addictions. From chewing your nails, to drinking, to slamming dope.
