Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 : Fred would get the Restless leg jerks , which would wake him up five or six times a night. His Neurologist put him on Clonazepam 1 mg which he take's at night before bed. It seem to work for the RL most of the time, but he does have a few times that he will still have a body jerk in his sleep. He also has a tremor in his hands. Sinemet use to help that, but it seems to be doing less and less for that, but then Fred's Neurologist tolded us that it wasn't working as well anymore. You may want to talk to Jeff's doctor about something for the tremor.
