Are you experiencing side effects from clobazam?
Clobazam (Onfi, Sympazan) is a benzodiazepine sedative used to treat certain types of seizures, including myoclonic seizures and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Like other anti-seizure medications, it can cause side effects.

Yup!
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member - I take Keppra 750mg 2X day and 5mg Clobazam 1X day. It's working well for me. For a short while I was on 10mg Clobazam 1X day and I was "like a zombie". Research the history of Clobazam as it is quite interesting: when it was developed, what it was developed for, when they started using it for seizures and for what types of seizures. I have different types of seizures which is why I think the Clobazam is working well for me.
Oh she for sure should NOT be on both benzos - that’s crazy! I’m glad you got away from that doctor! Ask her about sleeping. If she’s dreaming a lot of various dreams she’s probably waking up a lot during the night and it can take a toll. Briviact does that also so I take Doxepin 3mg to keep me in a nice deep sleep. The melatonin actually wears off and makes getting good rest worse. I started having seizures when I was 10 and went on Keppra and my doctor would always ask “How’s your sleeping? Are you waking up a lot with nightmares?” Since I had 0 stress at that age I was OK, but now at 43 life is more stressful and murder shows are abundant and I dream like crazy! Plus I get up to pee more often. 😜 I hope she has a good week starting today!
She was actually on klonopin and clobazam there for awhile before we changed neurologist and they had a freak out on her being on them both. Shes done well with everything with this past week being am exception. Its been a rough day and week for her
