My neuro rx'd the clonazepam.
Back about 2 months ago when I was having severe spasms, the clinical trial doc had me take .25 mg two times during the day, 6 hours apart. I couldn't take it even that amount during the day b/c of the drowsiness. But it's a well established fact that I am a drug wimp!
Dej -- you might want to try it to see if it helps. I am the one who has all the problems with meds...if there is a side effect, I am mostly like to experience it and I really have had no problem with this drug.
It works for me but like any meds, they don't work for everyone. I don't have any anxiety or panic problems so I really can't tell you how it would work for that medical problem. I just know that it's the only drug that has addressed the RLS for me and the spasms along with Sinemet! That combo seems to work for me. And I have tried other meds with no luck.
Good luck ... keep us posted!
