As most of you know, I was taking .5 mg of Ativan for my anxiety. We tried 1 mg of Ativan for a little bit, but that made me very sick.

I then got a prescription for .5 mg of Clonazepam to help with the anxiety, as well as my insomnia. That actually seemed to help for a little bit. But a few days later, I started to have phantom smells and sounds, then I would just start crying for three to four hours straight.

Two nights ago, I started hallucinating and only got about two hours of sleep. I did call my doctor, left a message explaining the situation, and have since stopped taking this.

Has anyone else had these types of side effects w/ Clonazepam?
