Areas of Clonazepam Application and Effects.

Benzodiazepines have an anti-anxiety and sedative effect, after using these drugs, the patient's fear, anxiety, and anxiety disappear.

• anxiety disorders,
• psychomotor agitation,
• panic attacks,
• psychotropic symptoms occurring in schizophrenia.

Doctors generally use benzodiazepines before surgery to treat epileptic seizures, tetanus, febrile seizures, and other conditions with increased muscle tone.

Klonopin is an allosteric GABA receptor agonist that reduces the excitability of the patient's nerve cells. The anti-anxiety effect is achieved by inhibiting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters in the limbic system, which is primarily responsible for controlling human behavior.

Klonopin (2mg) drug increases the duration of slow wave sleep and decreases the duration of REM sleep. Klonopin is rarely used as a sleep aid by professionals; Research shows that Klonopin is rapidly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract after administration. The maximum concentration and effect of the drug in the blood appears after 2-3 hours.

This fact is applicable among drug addicts, as it immediately relieves panic attacks, anxiety, which occur when taking LSD, psilocybins and other psychotropic drugs.

Side effect.

The main side effects of Clonazepam (2mg) include:

• fatigue
• Drowsiness
• difficulty concentrating
• depression
• lack of memory

It is noted that the patient's movement coordination disorders, dizziness and muscle weakness increase the risk of him falling.

Other side effects caused by the drug as such are manifested in the form of slow or slurred speech, blurred vision, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased appetite, slowed breathing, decreased blood pressure.

And since due to reduced reactivity, for example, the ability to drive a car decreases, and this increases the risk of accidents when driving vehicles, it is necessary to exclude driving.

Usually, the side effects of drugs also depend on the dose of the given drug. For example, in case of lung and breathing disorders (asthma), or muscle weakness, patients should not take benzodiazepines, it is contraindicated.

Possible long-term consequences:

• blunting of emotions
• concentration and memory problems
• physical exhaustion
• decreased mental activity

It is necessary to know that experts recommend using Klonopin (2mg) only for very short periods of time (2 to 4 weeks), in case of long-term use, the risk of developing tolerance and physical dependence increases in the patient.

Klonopin (2mg) depresses the respiratory center and cardiac activity of the individual taking it.

It turns out that in infants and children, as a result of the use of the drug, the production of saliva and mucus in the respiratory tract increased.

Administration of the drug in very high doses causes severe amnesia, which can be accompanied by a behavioral disorder in the person. An overdose of the drug in a few days can also cause amnesia in the patient. Experts say that it is not possible to record death from a large dose of the drug, except when it is used with other drugs.

Interactions

As a rule, simultaneous administration of Klonopin with other types of sedatives, such as alcohol, barbiturates or opiates, certain antidepressants or antihistamines, enhances the depressant effect of Clonazepam. Thanks to all that, the risk of cardiac arrest increases.

It is necessary to exclude the use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy, they are used only when, based on the reasons, the attending physician deems it necessary.

The problem is that Klonopin (2mg) and its metabolites cross the placenta to the fetus, causing the fetus to have sluggish muscles, difficulty breathing, and impaired sucking reflexes.

In the case of nursing mothers, Klonopin also enters breast milk, and lactation is an absolute contraindication for the use of the drug.
