Hi @artscaping, this was a passing comment from my sleep specialist yesterday during my consultation. When I asked him to expand on that comment he said that I basically have to retrain/rewire my brain to sleep after being dependant on Clonazepam for such a long time. Now that I'm off this drug and experiencing these symptoms, it would be difficult to argue with him. Again, this is my subjective experience with Clonazepam. He has clinical experience with this drug and he's the sleep expert so I'll be relying on him for this next chapter and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm in good capable hands.

@gettingbetter75, That’s important.....good capable hands. Let me know if you learn more about rewiring. This was a great example. I wonder how It works with pain? Be free and protected today. Chris
