Klonopin is needed by me. I "jerk" at night (myoclonus or something like that) in the lower back and sometimes legs. Also, like Dejibo, I sometimes get the MS hug, especially if I take Interferon, the chemo for Polycythemia Vera. Klonopin is a very benign drug for me,
and that's saying a lot, since I have lots of drug reactions. I could not tolerate some of the other Benzos, but have not tried Ativan.
