The only medication my husband has ever found that lets him shut his mind off is klonopin (generic). He has taken it since 2009. He only sleeps about six hours a night but has always been that way. He is never groggy and does not feel "drugged". He does not intend to stop taking it as it only seems to help him get the rest he needs. May I ask what side effects most people are having that make them want to quit this particular medication? I would like to be aware if it is a danger to my husband in any way. Thank you, comments are appreciated. He is 65 years young.
