User Reviews for Klonopin

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

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.

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.

It helps when I am having a bad episode with my legs, it helps me calm down enough to sleep.

Works for me.... it has been a cheap miracle drug

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.

This medicine stopped the restless leg issues, but it made me extremely groggy and a bit depressed.

Me, taking this medicine was and is the best thing for my (RLS).

I use klonopin for panic disorder and RLS. It works amazingly for my panic, but it has actually worsened my RLS! It does make me sleepy, but every time I'm about to doze off, the kicking and terrible feelings come back in my legs. I can't stop moving them for at least an hour. I'm glad it works for some people, but it doesn't work for me. I'm on 2 mg a day.

I have been using this medication for the past seven years. It saved my life. I have been diagnosed with Restless Legs Syndrome due to a spinal injury and with sleep apnea. My legs no longer run at 100 mph while trying to sleep, no leg cramps, and I finally reach REM. I have been sleeping like a baby.

I have suffered with restless legs for years and after trying many different drugs my Dr came across this one. I was reluctant as nothing else had worked. It was a miracle how well it worked. Finally I was able to sleep at night without the aching which I refereed to as Chinese torture. Then my Dr of 39 yrs decides to retire and the new Dr refuses to give it to me. There should be a law against a Dr retiring without a replacement and leaving you to just hope that the next Dr you get will give you refills on your medicines that you need.
