I take 1 mg Klonopin as needed for anxiety and, according to scientific research, is equal to two 10 mg Valiums. This is a very potent anti-anxiety medication, but for some reason, it tends to elevate my heart rate. Before taking it, my pulse was at about 72 b.p.m., but an hour after having taken it, my pulse has jumped up to 108 b.p.m. Also, my hands feel cold and clammy. Normally, this would cause me to freak out, but I am very relaxed right now so I'm not too worried. Is this a side effect of the drug? I couldn't seem to find anything on the internet telling me so, so I would like your advice. And yes, it is my prescription. God Bless.
