I take clonazepam. It helped my anxiety, me to quit smoking cold turkey, my bouts of insomnia, but more importantly broke through my burning pain from TN like nothing else could....

I can't say enough good about it, other than, I do feel it adds to my dry mouth situation (could be the Copaxone too though), can make me hungry, is very habit forming.

My neuro nearly hit the roof when he heard I was taking it, my GP prescribes it. She only prescribes me 60 pills per 30 days, so most I can take is essentially 2 x .5 mg for 1mg daily at my 'allowed' dose.

18-50h is the half life of Clonazepam. It is still in your system the following day, so you can feel fatigued waking up big time.

That's my experience with it. Neuro wants me off the stuff. I think it's been wonderful.
