Hyperekplexia
"Clonazepam helped me live a &quot;normal&quot; life. After several months of trial and error on the dosing, I was able to walk, hear a loud noise, be touched, etc. AND REMAIN UPRIGHT! The downside is that I now sleep approximately 4 hours more per day than before, which took much adjustment. Overall I&#039;d say the benefits outweigh the problems exponentially.  During and since my second pregnancy while on the medicine, something has changed and I no longer live a &quot;normal&quot; life, but I still live a much higher quality of life.  Despite many adjustments to the dosing and scheduling in the last 5 years, I have never regained the freedoms of the first 15 years on the medicine.  I am currently back to the trial and error phase of finding the best treatment."
