I keep Klonopin on hand in case I experience a trigger where I struggle to a point where I get to be in too much pain. I try very hard to "not" use it and work through something on my own if I can. But if I have too many days of hurting I will take a Klonopin and that significantly helps reduce the physical pain I experience. Klonopin is not good to take on a regular basis, it's a sedative and a depressant and because it is a depressant it can increase depression which is not good and it's also a medication that can become addictive and can be very hard to stop taking. I personally only use it sparingly and I only take .05mg tablet and that lasts around 8 hours. A prescription will last me a year so as I mentioned, I only use it when I get overwhelmed and experience a lot of pain down my arms and across my chest.

IMO, the secret to using that drug is not to use it every day as a crutch or to be constantly numbed.

Of-course, it's important to make sure you consult with someone who is a treatment specialist and it doesn't hurt to read about whatever you are taking.

What they need to discover is something that can help to restore the ability to increase levels of neuropeptide Y. They have also been studying to see what therapies may help with restoring the levels of neuropeptide that may not include drug treatment.
