Klonopin worked for several years as a sleep aid (0.5 - 1mg bedtime). I'm post menopausal now and no longer able to sleep through the night. Increasing the dose causes restless sleep. I take an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer. Many years ago an excellent Psychiatrist treated my adolescent daughter. He now directs and oversees Nurse practioners in his practice. I'll be meeting one on april 4th to partner with in this journey....
