Buy Clonazepam (Klonopin Rivotril) 2mg online.Clonazepam, sold under the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril, is a medication used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar mania, agitation associated with psychosis, OCD and akathisia.[10] It is a tranquilizer of the benzodiazepine class.[10] It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.You take typically by mouth.[10] Effects begin within one hour and last between six and twelve hours.[8]
Common side effects include sleepiness, poor coordination, and agitation.[10] Long-term use may result in tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly.[10] Dependence occurs in one-third of people who take benzodiazepines for longer than four weeks.[9] The risk of suicide increases, particularly in people who are already depressed.[10][11] Use during pregnancy may result in harm to the fetus.[10] Clonazepam binds to GABAA receptors, thus increasing the effect of the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).[9]
Clonazepam was patented in 1960 and went on sale in 1975 in the United States from Roche.[12][13] It is available as a generic medication.[10] In 2020, it was the 44th-most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 14 million prescriptions.[14][15] In many areas of the world, it is commonly used as a recreational drug
Medical uses
Clonazepam is prescribed for short-term management of epilepsy, anxiety, OCD and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia.[18][19][20]
Seizures
Clonazepam, like other benzodiazepines, while being a first-line treatment for acute seizures, is not suitable for the long-term treatment of seizures due to the development of tolerance to the anticonvulsant effects.Buy Clonazepam (Klonopin Rivotril) 2mg online
Clonazepam has been found effective in treating epilepsy in children, and the inhibition of seizure activity seemed to be achieved at low plasma levels of clonazepam.[21] As a result, clonazepam is sometimes used for certain rare childhood epilepsies, but it has been found to be ineffective in the control of infantile spasms.[22] Clonazepam is mainly prescribed for the acute management of epilepsies. Clonazepam has been found to be effective in the acute control of nonconvulsive status epilepticus; the benefits, though, tended to be transient in many people, and the addition of phenytoin for lasting control was required in these patients.[23]
It is also approved for treatment of typical and atypical absences (seizures), infantile myoclonic, myoclonic, and akinetic seizures.[24] A subgroup of people with treatment resistant epilepsy may benefit from long-term use of clonazepam; the benzodiazepine clorazepate may be an alternative due to its slow onset of tolerance.[9][25]
Anxiety disorders
- Panic disorder may occur with or without agoraphobia.[26]
- Clonazepam has also been found effective in treating other anxiety disorders, such as social phobia, but this is an off-label use.[27][28]
The effectiveness of clonazepam in the short-term treatment of panic disorder has been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials. Some long-term trials have suggested a benefit of clonazepam for up to three years without the development of tolerance, but these trials were not placebo-controlled.[citation needed] Clonazepam is also effective in the management of acute mania.[29]
Muscle disorders
Restless legs syndrome can be treated using clonazepam as a third-line treatment option, as the use of clonazepam is still investigational.[30][31] Bruxism also responds to clonazepam in the short term.[32] REM sleep behavior disorder responds well to low doses of clonazepam.[33] It is also used for:
- The treatment of acute and chronic akathisia induced by neuroleptics, also called antipsychotics[34][35]
- Spasticity related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis[36]
Other
- Benzodiazepines, such as clonazepam, are sometimes used for the treatment of mania or acute psychosis-induced aggression. In this context, benzodiazepines are given either alone or in combination with other first-line drugs such as lithium, haloperidol, or risperidone.[37][38] The effectiveness of taking benzodiazepines along with antipsychotic medication is unknown, and more research is needed to determine if benzodiazepines are more effective than antipsychotics when urgent sedation is required.[38]
- Hyperekplexia[39]
- Many forms of parasomnia and other sleep disorders are treated with clonazepam.[40]
- It is not effective for preventing migraines.[41]
Contraindications
- Coma
- Current alcohol use disorder
- Current substance use disorder
