thanks for the information. I don't want to go off Klonopin. It is the only drug (or nondrug- I turned to Klonopin after total failure of CBT) to help with the severe anxiety.
I will call my doctor as soon as possible and tell him about this. I have had sleep problems all my life but the EEG was done before I developed the hypnagogic attacks at 23.
I also found this page http://www.arts.uwaterloo.ca/~acheyne/S_P.html which seems to describe symptoms of sleep paralysis that are similar to what I have experienced, with the exception that severe headache is very rare with Sleep Paralysis. The other symptoms are familiar to me however.
Thanks again. I think I need to call my pdoc now.
