Has anyone taken this drug, and have you found that it mitigated your tremor to any degree?

I took this pill at night so I would not act out while I was sleeping. It also helped me sleep.

Beckey, I take clonazepam .25 mg, melts on my tongue kind, at night for REM sleep disorder. It seems to help. I stop taking it once in awhile because I know that it's habit-forming and that kind of scares me but I take so little and I don't up the dose so I'm OK. I don't have tremor dominant PD so I don't know its effect on that. Good luck!

I have been taking .25 mg 4-6 times a day for 2-3 years to help control my foot dystonia in conjunction with c-l dopa plus DBS. It is habit forming but so is c-l dopa!?!

I've been sleeping like a rock with the clonazepan. Also, trazedone is super effective.

Just "OK." The classes got so big at the boxing gym that they divided people into two group. The people who were super athletic to begin with are in one group, and the rest of us are in another -- which unfortunately meets in the a.m. I missed a few sessions because I wasn't warmed up enough to join in at that time. Then I tried sleeping without clonapin, which was a dud. Well, I'm determined to make the Wednesday morning boxing class tomorrow! How bout you, John? How you doing?

That's the $64 question! I actually feel like the tremor is worse since I started taking the C/L. Does that make any sense?

That what I don't understand how one day can be so different from the next for example Friday I worked out hard went to bed about 9 woke up at 6 sleeped the night without taking anything no tremors the very next day worked out hard laid in could not sleep due to tremors the inconsistency is what gets me if you have any suggestions they would much appreciated thanks and keep going to the gym👍
