Same here with the low dose of Klonopin (Clonazepam), and it helped my sleeping DRAMATICALLY. Not to mention all my burning pain. Definitely was my wonder 'drug'

I was on the klonopin to help ease the severe neck spasm I was having, it worked pretty darn good, am not on it anymore, one of the side effects was the desire to play role playing games lol hiya laura

No I am on LDN now and have cut all my other meds out and the amount of spasm now on LDN is equal to the klonopin, so for me its working out

I did find it to be one med I did like it worked

LMAO! That means if Erin starts taking Clonazepam she's going to turn into a Fire Wizard? .... or an Ice Wizard if Clonazepam dulls the burning pain. Har har!

Hopefully I wont be sleep-driving myself to McDonald's to sleep-eat a Big Mac.

I bought a pill splitter. The PA I talked to thought that would be a good idea since I seem to be sensitive to a lot of medications. Plus, the last time I took an Ambien was about 1996. The first time I'd ever taken one, I took it full strength. Woke up later that night and the room was bright red, and my tv was crawling across the floor. I'm never taking it full strength again, even now. No matter how tired I am.

She gave me a Rx for the older version of Ambien, since with the AmbienCR, you cant use a pill splitter with that. The older stuff you can.
