I’ve been having anxiety attacks every night for about 5 nights in a row now?

I’ve been having symptoms of numbness in my upper left arm, my face feels a little numb, I get rapid heart beat, and sometimes hot flashes all randomly throughout the day and at night is when it starts to get a lot worse. I was prescribed Klonopin today. and I was wondering how long it takes to get in your system. I am taking half a miligram breaking the pill in half and taking a half twice a day. I’ve been really scared that something is wrong with me and I was wondering if all the symptoms I listed above are normal to keep happening during the day? Also, I took my Klonopin earlier and it made me feel a bit better and about 3 hours later it was worn off. Does anyone know why? I just need some advise and relief that things are gonna be okay. Half the time I don’t know what to do. I can barely even eat right. I get spasms in my neck when I start to eat. I don’t know. Can anyone give me any advise?

The dose may be a bit low but best ask your doctor. I used to get bad anxiety attacks. They can be just horrible. Once the doctor told me what they were he gave me Klonopin and it helped right away. I don’t remember the dose but he upped it a bit. The lower the dose is better if you are going to need it for just a short time or even if you need it longer. Talk therapy is good also while you are on the Klonopin.
As for your neck problems and numbness I would suggest a good Chiropractor as numbness sometimes suggests some nerves are being pinched somewhere. I go to a Chiro often for a neck problem and it has worked wonders.
Good luck.

I used to have panic attacks. They started out at night. I thought I was having a heart attack. I was having the same kinds of symptoms that you described. Then I would occasionally have them during the day. I went for all kinds of tests just to rule out the fact that I was not having a heart attack. My doctor prescribed Xanax for me to take. It was a small dosage and I only took half a pill. My doctor told me if I had an attack during the night that I should immediately take my meds, go into a semi-dark room and find a corner to sit in and remain very calm and think good thoughts while I waited for the meds to start acting.
If you get scared the symptoms worsen. I have never taken Klonopin, so I am not sure how long it should last. The Xanax would last for a few hours for me and when I would first take it, it would make me relax and let me go back to sleep.
My attacks were happening about once a week to begin with because I was going through a very stressful time in my life. When I got rid of most of the stress, I stopped having the panic attacks. I haven’t had one in about a year now.
I don’t know anything about the spasms…sorry.
Hope this helps a little. Just try to remain calm and try some simple deep breaths in and out when you have an attack.

The last poster said 9 weeks is all they have heard someone being on Klonopin?
Funny, but I’ve been on it for about 5 years. Where do you get 9 weeks from?
