Klonopin & Twilight Zone

I was put on Klonopin a week ago. I am now living in the twilight zone. It is so strange. I am aware of my surroundings and can hear things but can fall asleep sitting up. Then someone will say something to me and I will realize that I "checked" out and it takes me a second to realize where I am and how I got there or what I am doing there. I am having trouble focusing when I move my eyes or turn my head. So I feel like I am in a swirling derby all of the time. I would stop taking the medicine but it is helping with the symptoms of left sided pain and groin pain. I am not willing to go off of it yet. I want to see if my body will adjust but it is very trippy. The best part is I am sleeping great at night! The bad part is I want to sleep in the day too.

Hi,

I'm on Klonopin for my restless leg syndrome. It does KNOCK me out so unless my RL gets real bad during the day I only take it at night.

Why Klonopin?


Good Luck,

if this is the same as clonazapam I am on it as well for RLS and I only take it at night.....and I only take 1/2 of a 5mg and it knocks me out real good

I am also on it for RLS. But it is to relax my left leg during the day which is drawing up with tension and maybe causing the groin pain that I am feeling in the day. But, maybe I will just try using it at night to see what it will do. If I take it during the day I end of sleeping at some point. I guess some extra sleep can't hurt since I lost so much after surgery, but I do need to resume some kind of life.

I do find even at 1/2 of a 5mg at night that it keeps me more relaxed during the day as well.....like I say, I'm abit of a wimp when it comes to meds but hey it's worth a shot!!

best of luck!
