In reply to Nozinan?, posted by sonic_gb on December 6, 2007, at 16:36:19
It's worth a try as you are exhausted. I had no ill effects from it. I was taken of clonazepam when I was in the hospital and they gave me Nozinan to sleep (I have used it before). I woke up with a bit of a dry mouth, but other than I was fine.
Give it a shot!

(I'm prescribed 30-60) The clonazepam is supposed to be tapered to 2mg, but I'm taking 4 again to try to calm myself down. The psychiatrist thinks this is out of control, but can't get me into an inpatient facility as fast as he wants to.
