Re:Klonopin for leg cramps

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I have been taking Klonopin (Clonazepam) at bedtime for about 3 years now. I

started off at 1mg and now take 2mg. My neuro prescribed it for my chronic leg

pain and leg cramps, and it continues to work very well for me.

I see that someone already warned of its addictive properties. If/when you get

off of it, if taking it on a regular basis, you have to do so gradually.

However, when I stopped it for a time, my pain came back so severely that I was

having to take Lortab (Hydrocodone) every day, which is much worse. Now I only

have to take the Lortab occassionally, when my pain gets bad due to a fall or

really bad weather.

Peace & Blessings,

Holly

p.s. It used to make me really sleepy, which is fine for me at night. Not so

much anymore, but if I forget or run out & don't take it, I do have great

difficulty going to sleep or don't sleep well at all. So, that's part of my

body's addiction kicking in.

We're all different, of course.

Best,

Holly
