Advice & Tips: This drug changed my life. Really. I had a very long history of serious insomnia. Tried every possible treatment method, across the entire spectrum. Finally a psychiatrist suggested it was not a sleep disorder so much as a bit of anxiety. 1 mg of klonapin before bed and I sleep through the night. For anyone who has ever experienced serious insomnia, you understand what a "cure" like this means.
