MB,
The current pdoc took me off of it. He seemed to think that Neurontin would work better for my bruxism. That was my main complaint when the older pdoc prescribed it to me.
He told me that Klonopin disrupts normal sleep cycles and that it could lead to more depression. He also said that the Neurontin would help me sleep. It did for a while on 600mg. The bruxism is under control yet I'm having some insomnia lately.
Thanks for your support.

> What happened with the Klonopin?? I remember a long time back when you started it and that it worked so well for you!! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble again. I wish you the best of luck getting sleep. I watched a horror/thriller movie on TV last night called "Catching Sleep" starring Jeff Daniels. It is about the devastating psychological effects of insomnia. The movie was creepy. I wouldn't recomend it if you are depressed, but after seeing it, and seeing your post, I felt like sending you a message of support.
