not sure about spelling? they prescribed this for my 2.5yr old so he can sleep, .5mg. anyone ever use this? i am very uneasy about the listed side effects and withdrawl warning and would love to hear from someone who tried it on their young child.I have used it - personally...it made me twitchy and I could not sleep. I felt like my heart would explode. I was on it for a week until he put me on Lamicatal. I take klonopin for sleep 20 mg..it is supposed to have lower dependency ratings than others..I am not sure of that fact because as soon as I try to sleep without it I am up all night..thinking:) I love it..I also take it during the day for anxiety on a as needed basis..not sedating but very relaxing for me:) Good luck:)yes  i saw that as a side effect. what stinks is my son isnt capable of telling you what hurts or what is wrong. I would try something else first...have you tried melatonin?

Payne's Mom39295.4863541667yes we can use 1mg, but he has very poor sleep architecture so he cant stay asleep or fall back asleep if he wakes. melatonin only helps with getting him to sleep initiallyI had better results with Ambien and Lunesta than I did w/ the Clorazapem or the Klonopin.
