"i am 50. i have taken clonazepam 0.5 mg every night for 10 years. it gives me beautiful sleep. i have never needed more. i have been insomniac all my life with mild gad. it kills the sex drive and so i try just half a tab a couple nights a week. i don&#039;t sleep very well with half tab. with all the hype about how bad it is long term, i have tried weaning back, but with poor sleep i become depressed and irritable. my estrogen is high, my testosterone has been low ever since i started taking it. i&#039;ve always wondered what connection it has with hormones. it is a wonder drug in so many ways for me. maybe when i am finally done with menopause i will consider weaning off."
