Clonazepam Light Headedness (Top voted first)

Updated

My pain mgt. doctor prescribed this med. to me for the muscle spasms I have with both MS and CRPS. I am on some other meds that I do well with even though they are narcotic- When I take Clonazepam it relieves the muscle spasms better than anything but this med makes me spacey and very sleepy. Does anyone else have the same affect from this?

I have taken clonazepam for GAD and to combat some the side effects from withdrawal from Suboxone. This medication can make anyone very sleepy. It can also make you feel uncoordinated and confused.... Most who must take this drug do not like it ... How ever it is very effective in the corect doseage. Talk to your Dr. and exercise as much as possible. Even walking will relieve some of the more annoying side effects... a body at rest, stays at rest..... If one is immobile, talk to your Dr. about any other options....

I've been on Clonazepam 3mg/day for over 10 years. I discovered that you have two alternatives to the tiredness that they cause. First one is Provigil but it does make you a little edgey. The second and in my opinion the best solution is Tramadol .Take one 50mg tablet an hour before you take the klonopin and it eliminates the sleepiness and adds to the relief you get fron the klonopin. Good luck!

Again my problem with Clonazepam is that i cannot function at all i want to lay on couch and sleep. The doctor gave me Clonidine and Clonazepam and between them and diladid 4mm i feel like i am in dream land. I will be calling doctor tomorrow and seeing what can be done. I am a stay at home dad taking care of my 3 year old daughter and i need to be able to be alert. I never had that problem on just pain meds. Of course you get sent to a pain doctor and they think that you should get off of the pain meds. But what they dont understand is that it is the only way i can get up and run around with my daughter and work on my property.
