Insomnia
"I had been prescribed 1mg of Xanax before bed for severe insomnia after trying all other sleep meds with side effects,  for over 5 years and it worked great. Then I had to get a new PC and they refused to fill Xanax.. Said I needed to go to a psychiatrist for that med. Sooo ridiculous. So, instead he gave me 1mg Klonopin at bedtime. He said it was the same thing just less addictive. I&#039;ve never had an addiction problem with any meds but he felt &quot;uncomfortable&quot; giving me the rx for Xanax,  which again, worked great for me. Now on Klonopin my insomnia is worse. I can&#039;t fall asleep until 7-8am and I just lay there wide awake feeling all irritated. I now get 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Which is worse for my health than 1mg of Xanax."
