Guest guest Posted May 10, 1999 Report Share Posted May 10, 1999 Hello and good morning! I slept well again last night. Hurray! The condition I have has already robbed me from very many productive days from lack of sound restful sleep. I was not only dragged out before taking Klonopin but exhausted 24/7 . So I am excited and happy to recently find out the causes of my restless nights and be subcribed Klonopin by a neurologist. This honey moon stage of drug does cause some tiredness and I am drinking caffene to off set some of it.I will deal with the fatigue in another way if it does not wear off . I will even consider taking another drug for day time. Before taking one KLonopin at night to relax my legs I could not drink caffene with out keeping me more awake at night. Now I can drink some and still sleep . I am told by the pharmacist that in a month the tire feeling from the klonopin will wear off.I can endure a month to see since have had extreme day time exhaustion for about 10 years.I also have not freely take any medication unless it is some thing I really feeI is need and i research medications and net worked with others. And I take herbs and vitamins of all sorts. If you take more than one Klonopin at night . You may be more dragged out through the day and have a higher chance of addiction. I was told by the pharmacist that taking one klonopin at night for the reason I am taking it has a very low chance of addiction and to keep my self in check I can just to try a week end just two nights off of it between doctors presciptions and check and see if I feel jittery or anxious with out the medication. That does not seem like a big bother to me if it will bring some relief to the very life limiting exhaustion. I have had for over 10 years. And sleeping feels real good right now and I already have felt some small changes in the type or fatigue I have been enduring. Would it not be nice if others were happy for others when they are finding some releif to a very hard situation to deal and give some positive encouragement in the way of supportive words to others instead of just pasing on negative information. I have received counsel not from this source but from another about taking a Benzodiazepine that 1/4 of people taking them becomes additicted. I spent a day distressed from that negative information . Taking this medicine at this time in my life for me is a relief from a long duration of suffering and it is welcomed for me. I have even been told by a neighbor that my aditude is better since I am sleeping. So even though I am not a doctor and you have found some kind of medication that is helping you be happy for that and I won't give my opinions on that medication even if I have tried it and it gave me poor results unless some one asks for my opinion.Because we all have to experance thing for our selfs. And I won't make judgement calls on a medication that a doctor has prescribed for you to help you live a fuller happier live and what doen't not work for one might work for another would it not be sad if there was a medication that could help some one really suffering and struggling along and because of some negtive information they are scared to try the drug and go on getting even more ill and distressed. Maybe a few people could benefit others by looking up the word support as in support group in their dictionairy and thinking about what that means and how to use it to build up other people.
