Anticipating this trial has caused anxiety because i have such painful , debilitating dystonia in the morning. i laid in the tub in hot water - which reallly helped even before i took the pill/ i also took my synthroid.

i was locked but nothing like i usually am. i could do everything they asked , including walking , turning around and walking back. they said my scores off were so low they were almost normal range and attributed it to the klonopin and exercise.

best of all, they asked the doctor and he said for me to take the klonopin everytime. the clinician told me when i was off ,she felt it more on the left[good] side tthaln the right.[bad side]
my left side always is worse than my bad right side when i have dystonia. nowconfirmed thru physical exam.

ok here's the real spelling of the med: clonazepam. it is antispasmodic for one thing.
