**Purpose:** Epilepsy *(Started Jan 15, 2005)*
Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Jun 29, 2010	1 mg Daily	Slight	Mild	Sometimes	Not at all

Side effects:: Sex drive (libido) decreased

Date: Jun 29, 2010
Advice & Tips: Decreased anxiety, especially helpful when I feel a seizure about to come on. Klonopin is a benzodiazeprine, which makes it a controlled substance and more difficult to get sometimes. If you have a problem with drug/alcohol abuse in the past, be very careful taking this med as it can be addictive. Also, expect some daytime sleepiness if you take it during the day or even the night before...it disrupts sleep patterns a bit but is overall not a bad drug.
Cost: < $25 monthly

The Trazaodone help to keep me sleeping and the Clonazepam get me to sleep. no side effects that I can tell. Since the Clonazepam is not covered ]by Medicare I look up the costco pharmacy price and hand that to my pharmacy that states they will match other pharmacies prices. Saves me $40!
