Yes Sandy that is the generic form of Klonopin. Not sure if it comes in more than 2mg or not .... have never
asked. When talking to my family doctor she said for my size/small only needed half a tab. at bedtime only. So
take very little. When taking the whole 2mg at night, no matter what time I went to bed I could sleep till
noon. :))smile:))

Craig
Yes I do but when telling the doc about my restless legs bothering me at night and messing my sleep up - right
away the Neuro said 'ah ha that is what is causing your breakthroughs right now' lack of sleep! It is also
prescribed though as an AED and I now have another question for my doctor next time I see him. Hadn't had a
seizure for long while, went on holidays and legs weren't bothering me so didn't take it with me. My family
doctor told me could if wanted only take when needed. HEY a person must really get use to it or something as
the 3 nights we were away I had a General Grand Mal. Nice holiday eh. Now was my brain and other AED so use
to having it in there helping that it couldn't do without it? Is that part of what messed me up?
But no you are right the Doc did prescribe it for my legs and feet which he called RLS (restless leg
syndrome).
It was not only for my legs/feet but for sleep/any stress.
Hope you are doing well there and had a good weekend.

Julie, You typed "Clomazepine" as the med prescribed for your legs. Is that correct?
