If I had known( famous last words?) I would have asked for a smaller less frequent script (of Clon)for my head tremor.
After taking Clonazepam for several years, I began to have a memory problem.
Recently I was evaluated by a neurologist ( mild cognitive impairment). He was not the prescriber, was retiring. ..and took me to the office of two new neurologists.
He assured me that I did not have Alzheimer’s and one of these two new neurologists would help me.

My research: MCI(mild cognitive impairment)can lead to AD. I hope I can delay it!

I will let you know about my evaluation.

Please do not see anyone who is not a neurologist (who can answer ALL your questions or calls him self a rehab doctor). I am tritrating from Clonazepam half a tablet decrease each week.

I thank God for my gastroenterologist. She told me that I would have ab pain when I began decreasing this pharmaceutical. I do. The prescriber denies this and says that it is caused by GI issues which are wonderfully under control!! ( I have celiac disease. A diet corrects that!)

Please let me know if you have questions. If I can help anyone titrating off of Clonazapam
I will. I am praying that these new neurologists know of a support group... or perhaps start one!

Look first for research based information on the Mayo website.

All the best!
Ellen
