Advice & Tips
originally taken to help sleep, and overcome anxiety it is remarkably effective. I thought it might be contributing to my increasing lack of balance and coordination presume due to peripheral neuropathy so tried to withdraw several times but have been unable to.

Advice & Tips
This is very srongly dependent on havingany alcohol at all in my system. If I have two drinks at 7 pm I cannot take the Kl at bedtime without experiencing this efffect. Problem is dose dependent. I have reduced dose from 2 mg. at bedtime -- originally prescribed for sleep to 1 mg. in the morning and have had not further problems. this is after about ten years of insufficient sleep due to this effect. 1 mg takenas soon as I get up serves to keep me mostly free of anx symptoms during the day. Originally I had teriblenightmares that were reliefved by Kl butthesehave not reocurred.

Advice & Tips
Withdrawal from this drug is 100% worse than the original symptoms. I had to go back on it, then finally my doctor switched to alprazolam and maybe it will be easier to get off of in the future.
