Is An Extra Dosage Of Clonazepam Advisable For Lower Back And Arm Pain?
I had extensive back surgery in December 2015 and am still recovering. I have a family member who is somewhat crazy and as I was going out the door with my 2 small dogs on a leash, she slamm ed the door into my back and caused me to twist my back. I can tell go to sleep as I don t have sleep aid and my left arm is hurting and my lower back is hurting. I take clonazepam 1 MG. 1 time /day and wonder if it still OK to take 1 more, or would it be better to take 2 Benadryl?

Hello,
No, an extra dosage of Clonazepam is advisable for lower back and arm pain as it is an anxiolytic sedative and not an analgesic. Take Ibugesic 600mg twice daily post meals and do fomentation with hot water bottle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
