Bruce and All,
I take Clonazepam for RLS. Sorry, I don't know anything about
"apraxia."

clonazepam / Klonopin™
ANTI-ANXIETY:
Description: Clonazepam is an oral benzodiazepine used primarily in the
management of seizures.
It shares many of the pharmacologic activities of the benzodiazepines,
with noticeable efficacy as an anticonvulsant. Clonazepam is clinically
effective in the prophylaxis of petit mal (absence) seizures, petit mal
variant seizures (Lennox-Gastaut syndrome), akinetic and myoclonic
seizures, and nocturnal myoclonus. It is ineffective in the management
of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Several reports in the literature
have documented that clonazepam was effective in relieving symptoms of
restless leg syndrome (RLS)ý. Clonazepam was approved by the FDA in June
1975.
Clonazepam is a DEA schedule IV controlled substance.
