Comment:
I get cold sweats, heart palpolatios and nightmares, my brains goes into over time trying solve problems when I sleep. Clonazepam 1mg .75mg night + .25mg afternoon has reduced this episodes and let me sleep more peacefully some nights are still terrible. I am pretty much hooked now. I would hope I can get off it after 10 yrs.

About 18 months ago started taking lowest dosage. Feeling of uselessness no energy just wanted to do nothing. This drug brought me out of this state and was able to function again. Have continued on lowest dosage with 1 1/2 pill per day.

I was on this drug for 18 years. and Ambien. Was on 1.5 mg. then down to 1 mg. for 2 years. Wanted to go off and did NOT titrate. Big mistake, I did not research. All withdrawal symptoms.

Great when you need it. Only short
