Lady, that's similar to my case, only 2 pill form medications, one being the Clonazepam, other Cesamet (Nabilone). Those help ease the pain, and then my relapses are either controlled by luck, or my Swank-like eating for the past 2+ years.

I don't believe we have the brand "klonopin" at all in Canada, or else the doctors only write the generic due to cost. Cesamet... I'm dreaming of the day that a generic form's available!

I had asked for 'wafers' at one time, as I had read that Klonopin/Clonazepam comes in a wafer form. The pharmacy here confirmed that yes, in the US they have wafers, here nope. Which is unfortunate, I wanted to try a mouth-dissolving form since I take it for burning mouth syndrome.

I can tell you it's the only medication that has helped to significantly decrease the severity of burning mouth. For us with this condition - MS or not - it's a life saver.
