You do know RLS is said to be a form of PARKINSON'S? I am 100% in agreement with this as while tapering off Lorazepam 6mg, with Clonazepam .5mg caused mouth and hand tremors. A big mistake my Dr and Psychiatrist made tapering me with .5mg Clonazepam when should have been 3mg. I am going thru untold problems. Wish I could start that taper over and do it correctly.

I've been thinking about that a lot and it makes me so angry that they did that to you. 6mg of Lorazepam down to .5mg of Clonazepam is a huge drop. I don't know how they couldn't see that. I know Clonazepam has a longer half life but I had thought they all were the same dose. If you had been put on 3mg of Clonazepam instead you definitely wouldn't have had to suffer so much. It must have been horrible when they switched you down to the .5mg. If your Doctor had put you on 3mg of Clonazepam and then tapered you down would you not have these symptoms? I'm so sorry that you have to be dealing with this. Did you develop restless legs in your late 30's?
