I am a 60-year old male with some pain issues which affect sleep. Recently, I was prescribed 0.25 mg (split tablet) clonazepam daily. I usually go to bed around 11:00 p.m. I will awaken around 3:00 p.m. with pain and unable to go back to sleep. So now, I am taking 0.25 mg clonazepam when I awaken. After about 45 minutes, I am able to fall back to sleep and get 3 to 3.5 hours of wonderful sleep. I am sleeping and feeling better than in years!!

I have been working with my medical team to address the pain issue, but in the meantime, clonazepam is working like a miracle for me. I have one question for the forum. If I take 0.25 mg clonazepam for a long time, will I have withdrawal problems if I ever discontinue it?

Thank you for reading my post.
