"i have been on clonazepam for almost 19 years - it was prescribed for anxiety disorder when i was in my late teens and helped immensely.  i found that i also couldn&#039;t sleep - turns out it&#039;s not from insomnia, it&#039;s from racing thoughts. i usually only take it at night about an hour before bedtime and i can fall asleep and sleep through the night.  i started on 0.25, 19 years ago, and have only gone up to 1.5 a night, 19 years later.  i also have a-typical hypertension, meaning my blood pressure will go up if i am anxious. with my doc&#039;s approval, i can take this if my blood pressure rises. much better than getting on a blood pressure medicine that i really don&#039;t need. hoping you the best!
