I've been on Clobazam for a lot of years. I had tremors & still had them but the meds worked to stop anything more. I had surgery & went off all meds with no seizures & then went back on it due to regular life but didn't have anything till a neuro tried to get me off the meds but 5 pills in less then 3 weeks. I'm still on it & 5 a day at 10mg a pill but no side effects. I would talk about slowing the amount of time getting off it

Christine, Onfi (clobazam) is addictive by its very nature, and why it was a controlled substance for so many years. That is why we have to take so much time titrating on or off of it. Those sound like symptoms of withdrawal to me, (and I had to speed-titrate off of a very addictive medicine, and I know what that feels like). Onfi made ALL the difference for me, and I’ve had no seizures since, after 20 years of them uncontrolled. I am on an even higher dose (20mg), and also take lamotrigine, and then gabapentin (but that’s mostly for the tremors I’ve developed later in life). I should be more careful of my liver myself, and need to ask my Dr about getting more frequent blood tests. See, I learn something new every day on this site!

I wish you all the best! Take your Dr’s advice but also trust the way you feel — we have to speak up and insist, repeatedly sometimes, until they respond to our concerns (as you probably know, sometimes they can be stubborn). Take care, and I hope your holidays are safe, healthy, and as seizure-safe as possible!

Hey Christine I take Briviact & Lamictal and have been on That now for over 20 years. Hopefully when you get off that med your symptoms will subside. Taking Lamictal and Briviact together I haven’t had those symptoms. You may also not get all the symptoms of the side effects it carries because everybody’s body chemistry Is different. With the combination that I take I only have occasional tiredness occasional dizziness and occasional blurriness.Prayers going your way. I hope you’ve had a seizure free day.

I take lamitrogen and colonazepam (generic Lamictal and kalonipin) I took briviact and it was worse than a seizure itself . Not only did it made them worse it also made me crazy. I would have these mood swings were I'd have these angry spells for no reason(then forget what I did) , all I wanted to do was sleep..... they were awful! Lamitrogene helps and be careful with colonzepam (I've been taking it for 13 years) it makes me so tired ,but it's a very strong controlled substance where if you withdrawal from it right away it will make you very sick(like if you were off an illegal drug right away) im getting weened off of it slowly,but I've withdrawaled from it before and wasn't cute...
