Hi Sam, clonazepam is generic for Klonopin and its a benzodiazepine drug, they are usually prescribed for anxiety and as an anti-convulsive.  I have been on these kinds of drugs now for 15 years and they do help me with muscle spasms and pain.  Be careful though with these, they do tend to sedate people and cause in some people addiction.
I get really thirsty, and hungry with my med. Don't drive with them until you know how you are going to react to it.

Acupan, my understanding is an analgesic and is a lot different from the usual opiods and morphine drugs, I will try to google and see what I come up with.

Take care Sam and keep us posted.

Hi

Thank you for that, i have got very thirsty on the clonazepam and the Acupan gives me chills and headaches and wobbly legs but is not doing much for the pain but i am due to up it this week. The first day i took it i was out of it for 4 hrs and felt very drunk and happy but that wore off and now i just feel tired with them and nothing on pain.

I was on diazapam but that effected my moods so i swap to temazapam but that stopped working so i am on this it does relax my legs thaough and that is great till i want to get up for  awee in the night and i feel all odd LOl

Be very careful on clonazepam. It sounds as if your dose is too strong for you. This can be a difficult drug, to say the least, often not worth the problems it causes. I suggest you check this out on the Internet. British doctors and scientists have been very vocal about the hazards of all benzodiazepine drugs. This is not to say they shouldn't be prescribed, but it should be at the minimum dose for the shortest possible time.

Ask your doctor if you have more questions or if you still feel woozy.
