Anixety and physical symptoms

[dorothy76]

I have bad anxiety and have just been prescribed klonopin. I take 0.5 mg twice a day. My physical symptoms have included having trouble catching my breath, feeling like I'm having a heart attack, sweating when it's cold and being a hypochondriac. I am also having problems with worrying all the time and impending doom but that's getting a little better. I am still having trouble catching my breath only on occasion. I think stress brings this on. Does anyone know how long klonopin takes to work? I have been on it for 2 weeks.

Hi Dorothy and welcome to the forum.

Heres a link about Klonopin and what it is prescribed for, dosage etc. Anxiety and medications can bring on real physical symptoms. It may be a good idea to call or be seen by your Dr. esp. if you feel shortness of breath. Good Luck to you.
