> Well, I had respiratory depression from clonazepam around December last year Squiggles, but I was taking something like 20mg a day in combo with at least 400mg tramadol, so not surprising then :-) I kept blacking out all the time and still bear the scar on my left temple where I collapsed against the kitchen table and knocked myself out.
>That sounds rough. 20mg is a high dose -- sorry
you have to take that much. It's really not
comparable to my friend's case.
> I do know what you mean about sleep attacks on clonazepam though. What I would do to have them now I'm off it.............. anything to get a few hours sleep - not even mirtazapine works, and that's supposed to be good for sleep apnoea?
>Poor thing. I hope you find a drug that allows
you to sleep - maybe you withdrew too fast; maybe
you shouldn't have withdrawan at all.
> I started using Breathe Right nasal strips to open my airways a bit at night and I do wake up feeling *slightly* more refreshed, well it's better than having to keep getting up to sip water because my mouth is bone dry where I've been breathing through it.

That's an idea. I don't have that problem,
but i'll suggest it to my friend in case she
does -- i haven't asked her on that.Squiggles
