Hello everyone, haven't been on in quite sometime. Was wondering if anyone takes klonazepam and norco for their UC. That's what I'm taking, and it works, but I went through horrible Ativan withdrawal and don't want to chance going through that nightmare again since my dr may be retiring soon.

I have taken Clonazepam (Klonopin) on an off for sleep and it does also seem to help make bowel movements more well-formed, it could also help calm muscle spasms and slow diarrhea too, which could also help with healing from a flare.

For long term treatment though have you considered other drugs for IBS / anxiety / depression that have fewer side effects than Benzodiazepines (Konopin, Valium, Xanax, Attivan.) I've personally had good results with Doxepin (tri-cyclic anti-depressant) and the herbal supplement Valerian root extract.
