hi Jlbl21,
that is really fantastic that you have actually seen cognitive improvement on klonopin firsthand! thank you for writing in! and i am really going to have to take a look at that web site. appreciate that very much. :) also, thank you (i'm starting to sound like i'm receiving an award or something) for your support and reasurance. and your dosing instructions will save me a lot of research time. thanks!!!take care,

> For people with CFS and FMS, it seems especially true for some reason, I see it time and time again. I don't claim to know why though, but i would imagine it has something to do with the gaba/nmda receptor ratio or glutamate binding to nmda. perhaps chemist has some insight, but i would hardly worry about memory problems on klonopin. if it happens, it goes away after a week or so, same with sedation, which you will notice if you have never taken it before. The first time i took klonopin .5, i felt drunk! i was so sedated. The second, and third times, i started to just feel tired, and finally, i was just anxiety free by the 4th time or so and i loved it and i just lived much better and happier and was more clear headed. Just don't taper up to quickly or taper off to quickly and you will be fine.
