Haven't posted since I asked for feedback on anyone who had tried Scopolamine patches for BEB & CD. I ended up not trying it for several reasons. Thanks to all who gave me input. My neurologist was spending so much time on phone with Tricare and other insurance companies about Klonopin that she downloaded the GoodRX app on my phone and asked me to pay for it if I wanted to continue taking it. I paid for the Generic at Walgreens for a 30 day supply. It has worked so well for me since 2001 I didn't want to stop taking it.

At yesterday's visit I was told TN is planning to require anyone wanting to get Klonopin will have to see a psychiatrist monthly to get a prescription. We sat and discussed how many things I had tried between 1999 until 2001 that didn't work even with Botox and limited myectomy. She said the way my eyes shut down when it wears off in 4 hours sounded like it was the muscle relaxant effects of Klonopin. She asked would I try the muscle relaxant Flexeril in the generic, Cyclobenzapr 10 mg twice a day as I wean myself off the Klonopin 1 dose a week until I'm off of it. She said I may feel fatigued, sleepy and drugged until I get weaned off the Klonopin. Wish me luck and let you know how it goes. Anyone else out there used Flexeril to keep their eyes open?
