I am on new meds and they have come with no leaflet. Is there a site I can look at to read about side affects?

I am on my own with the children tomorrow so need to be prepared.

What is the medicine?

It is Clonazepam.

Different dosages can mean different side effects too.

I hope the doctor remembered I have asthma.

Can I ask what you are using them for?

It's very powerful drug.

Oh crap .

I feel a bit strange actually.

I have taken 0.25 though the label said to take 0.5 but he definitely said take half a tablet.

I am tired all the time, my sleep quality is not good enough so they are to help with that.

I wouldn't panic,You are on a low dose.

Seems a strong choice of medicine to dispense for insomnia and at a very low and irregular dose too.

But hey,I'm not a medic.

Maybe have a chat with your GP if it doesn't suit you or you want more detailed information on the drug?

I do sleep, it is just that the quality is not great and there are other issues too.

As I said,I'm not a doctor.

I would go to my GP and ask for more information-the prescribing doctor should of told you about the medicine he/she was giving you.

He did, it is just hard to remember everything. The idea is that they help me get better quality sleep.
