I would like to know more about clonazapam. My husband recently started taking this because all his Parkinson's meds make it impossible for him to fall asleep without it :-/

@flind Clonazepam is one of the benzodiazipines. Medical information for doctors is to reconsider use of benzos for the elderly as they may cause some problems. It is not an order, but something for doctors to consider when deciding what to prescribe. Your doctor or pharmacist should be able to tell you more about any possible side effects.
