"Have been on Klonopin since 2004--it works the best for me.  I've had 2 sleep studies, which have shown moderate RLS and PLMS, with some sIeep apnea.  I have tried Requip, Sinemet and Mirapex, even getting the Dr. to up the dose of one of them, but did not have the immediate relief that Klonopin brings.  I've had a bit of a hard time with my Dr. to fill the script, because it's a controlled substance.  I've explained to him that I have not had to increase my Klonopin dosage much in the 10 years that I've been taking it (0.5mg to 1 mg).  The one time I did not take it, I woke up 4 hours later like a bolt of lightning struck me. It's necessary for my PLMS, and to function in life!"
