Klonopin (clonazepam): I started out taking 0.5 mg of Klonopin at bedtime. Within 30 minutes or so, my restless leg syndrome symptoms would worsen immensely and my legs would keep me up all night (until 8am on several occasions). We tried increasing the dose to 1 mg then 1.5 mg and this lessened the RLS symptoms but came with some pretty heavy side effects. I lost much of my balance and became clumsy and slightly confused.

Klonopin (clonazepam): Complete elimination of symptoms which were severe. I preferred not taking a benzodiazepines and tried numerous other medications that were either ineffective or effective for a brief period of time. I am back on the Klonopin (1 mg at supper time) and am symptom free.

Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin is as effective as turning off a switch. I had no tolerance problems during 17 years of taking this drug, and no unpleasant side effects.

clonazepam: Works great for everything including sleep, anxiety, and RLS. I use it for all three and have never had a problem. The addiction aspect really only goes so far because some people actually require a certain amount of medication daily... But of course never over do it.

Klonopin (clonazepam): I have been taking this drug for years for restless leg syndrome and it is fabulous. I could not sit through a movie at a theatre without having to get up and stand at the door or at against a wall within the first quarter of the show. My legs also kept me up at night. I was taking a full mg at night and one another in the day but the dr cut me down to 1/2 in the day and 1/2 in the evening-not as effective but apparently this can be a very addictive
