Has anyone gotten any relief by taking Klonopin for CIPN?

Hello,

I received 8 rounds of chemo back in late 2021 for gastric cancer. Awful side effect of this was CIPN mostly in my feet. Didn't have it during treatment but rather it came about a month after treatment ended.

For 4 years now I have tried all the meds: gabepentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, LDN as well as numerous holistic approaches, topical creams, foot injections, etc, none of which have given me any sort of relief.

At times, I do take a .5mg of Klonopin as a way to calm the agitation I experience from the pain. In this way I do feel some relief though I'm not quite sure that it is actually targeting the pain, since its a drug for anxiety

Anyone else with CIPN taking Klonopin and if so, has it helped at all?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I've not noticed any result from pain from Klonopin. I take it for anxiety.
