Hey LeeAnn~ If I didn't take Clonazepam (Klonopin) at bedtime, I would never sleep. The pain would just wake me up all night long. My Neuro and Rheumy both tell me to stay on it. Like you, I don't want to take anything stronger, as the Dr's have told me I can if I want to.

I tried Lyrica and it gave me some wild side effects, so stopped it.

With my reg pain plus the back probs I have, it's just impossible to function w/o the Klonopin and believe me, I tried.

Glad your PCP wrote the script. No sense being in constant pain if it can be helped. Hope the new dose does the trick.

take care; your'e waaaay too special to hurt all the time..
