Alicia64 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 My ENT -- who specializes in balance problems -- did two hrs. of testing on me today. Very little showed and he'd like me to have an MRI (thinking I don't have a tumor; just ruling out).I He also gave me clonazepam to take at night before bed. Has anyone had experience w/ this med. I'd love to hear about it. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynful Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I don't remember the exact reasons why my neurologist put me on it as it was years ago, but it was the best sleep of my life. :) Honestly, I don't think I've gotten as good a sleep since I was on it. That alone helped a lot of things. Besides knocking me out, I don't remember having any other side effects from it. It's prescribed for alot of things: anxiety, sleep, muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant, and I think an anti-depressant but not sure what else. Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunriseiz Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 My mom was on it and, if i recall correctly, it should only be for short term use because it can be addictive. You should definitely sleep well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinmom Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Extremely addictive and became a depressant in my DH's case! He really struggled to get off it, even at a very low dose. Run, run away, IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 My ds had to take it for emergency seizure control. It would knock him out but it did stop the seizures. I wouldn't want to take something that would make me that loopy unless it was absolutely necessary. Good luck, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
