Clonazepam and Baclofen
Anyone using this combo? I am and it has helped so much! The trouble is I get so sleepy. I am taking 200mg of Provigil to help me function. I still end up needed a nap.
I have tried cutting my morning dose of Clonazepam in half but I can feel the tightness in my legs. I can take it 3 times a day. Maybe I should take 1/2 half in the morning and 1/2 in the after noon.
I take 10mg of Baclofen at bed time along with a full dose, can't remember the dosing, of Clonazepam at bedtime.
I keep my driving to a minimum! But no morning horrible morning cramping and stiffness and the discomfort I have in my legs is so much better.

Yes, it is the stiffness I have such a difficult time with and cramping. I do still have mild spasms but I can live with those. My lower back is feeling much better.

I am on 0.5 mg of Klonopin and 10 mg of Baclofen at night. I need the Klonopin during the day but it does make me so sleepy so I just take half a pill in the morning and half at noon if I need it.
I've gone up to 200 mg of Provigil to cope with the tiredness of the meds. I was switched from Lexapro to Prozac.
I am afraid I'd be asleep a long time with the amounts you are taking! But I have had such great relief so far.
I still have not had any trouble with weight gain when it comes to the anti depressants I haveheard about. Very thankful for that!

I take Klonopin at night for restless leg syndrome and I take Baclofen at night for spasms. My doctor has me on 1 1/2 mgs. of Klonopin and 30 mgs of Baclofen.
Since I use Klonopin for RLS which only happens in the evening, I only take it at night. I couldn't take it in the morning, because it would make me too tired.

I take these two as well. While they do not hope to control the spasms, twitches and stiffness, they DO help. At one point mu doc took me off since we didn't feel they were doing anything - all heck broke loose! So back I went on them.
Wobbly - baclofen is for spasticity. Clonazapam they are now using for myoclonus (that's my use) and migraines, in addition to anxiety (its original use)
