I hope the clonazepam works. But you may temporarily need more tramadol or something stronger. Are you allowed and do you have enough in stock to take more?

It will get better, but may take several days to two weeks. 👏🏻gor coming off the pramipexole!

If you find it makes you sleepy in the daytime, switch to one with a shorter half-life such as Xanex as the half-life of clonazepam is 40 hours.

Been on 2-3mg a night clonazepam for 30-40 years for epilepsy. Wanted to change to safer drug (now take levitecetaeram) but no one told me about the awful withdrawal symptoms from clonazepam (even under medical guidance) which, I found, include serious RLS and anxiety as well as other really bad symptoms which have now stopped. I do try and do without but at least 2-3 times a week I still take 0.5mg before bed to get more than 3-4hrs sleep. RLS is awful (whole body too) and I now sleep in different room to hubby of 38years….. 😥. Take care to use it minimally though it does calm the old body and allow sleep when nothing else will.
