So are you still taking klonipin with other sleep aides?
just curious.

Hi bizi, I've been on Klonopin for about 30 years, so it's not helping me with sleep or anything else anymore, and hasn't for many, many years (decades). I'm just physically addicted to it at this point. I could (literally) take 8 mgs before I'd get sleepy from Klonopin (I've done it in the past, when I was desperate to sleep).

I'm prescribed the 25mg Seroquel for sleep, but that amount isn't enough to really make me sleep (I just lie there, awake for 60 to 90 minutes). 50mg would knock me out, but I don't want to take that much Seroquel. That's why I take the otc sleep aids.
