Infotidbit-
Medicare Part D also does not cover benzodiazepines.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when you mentioned that your insurance doesn't cover the clonazepam, because we have to pay separately when we pick up the man's meds. No clonazepam, no diazepam, no alproazolam, etc.

It has something to do with our illustrious leaders not wanting taxpayers to support drug addicts when Medicare Part D was first proposed...imagine that? Funny thing is they cover oxycontin and oxycodone, don't they? I don't know about anyone else's neck of the woods but the two drugs I listed are a much worse problem here than a few Xanax!.....(cougfreakinhippocritescough)

I take baclofen and at night I take tizanidine (generic Zanaflex) to relieve spasticity and RLS as a result of spasticity. It works well for me. I hope you find something that works for you.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes!
