Response:
Klonopin is frequently prescribed for treating Restless Leg Syndrome. This comes from the Restless Leg Syndrome Foundation website: Benzodiazepines Benzodiazepines work by toning down the central nervous system and thereby allowing you to sleep even though some of your movements and sensations may continue. These drugs are most effective for relieving the nighttime symptoms of RLS and, therefore, are used either at bedtime in addition to a dopaminergic agent or for individuals who have primarily nighttime symptoms. The most commonly used benzodiazepine is clonazepam (Klonopin). Side effects of benzodiazepines include daytime drowsiness or confusion, particularly in elderly individuals. This drowsiness may impair your ability to operate machinery, including a motor vehicle. If you take benzodiazepines, you should refrain from consuming alcohol. Because benzodiazepines may produce physical or psychological addiction, you should consult with your healthcare provider before increasing the dose or discontinuing this type of medication. <usa-2…@webtv.net> wrote in message
