A WONDER DRUG FOR FM 08/21/09
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I am taking .25 mg of Clonazepam 3X daily, and I can finally sleep. I haven't had a normal night's sleep in 30 years, until now. When I wake up, I can walk (couldn't do that before), and I have much less pain than before. I can control the pain with my TENS unit and the lowest dose of Tylenol (1 pill at a time) 325 mg dose, as needed. This is much less pain relief than I have needed in the past. I have lived with severe pain for 30 years, and actually found no effective means of relieving the pain because I am allergic to so many drugs, or get very sick from them, or have bizarre reactions to them. Absolutely nothing has ever worked for me except Clonazepam. I hope I can take it for the rest of my life (I am 64).

I'm sleepin' tonight! or was that last night? 06/21/09
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Klonopin works brilliantly for sleep. It's extremely effective...even more so than the newer sleep meds such as Ambien, Lunesta etc.
Only have to take 1 mg before bed. I've not had to increase that amount for the two yrs I've been taking it. The only side effect would be on memory, but that is very slight compared to the benefit.

Klonopin and anxiety 06/18/07

Klonopin works GREAT for my high level of anxiety. I have experienced 2 anxiety attacks in two years, WHILE on Klonopin, but in general, I feel VERY free of anxiety. There is a terrible withdrawl that comes with it, so do NOT attempt to discontinue use without the help of a doctor!

Helps me fall asleep 12/29/06
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Klonipin helps me to fall asleep, but after a time it didn't work as well so my Dr. went up on dosage and it helped. It seems as though the longer I take it the higher the dosage I need.
However it does help me fall asleep by making me feel relaxed... it does not last all night and I still wake up so I still have trouble getting a good nights sleep.
