Sleep eating with Clonopin?
I started taking clonopin at night about three months ago. I have developed a disturbing habit of eating at night. I'm half awake. or maybe 1/3 awake. I generally fall asleep as I'm eating. This morning there were two halves of a cookie in bed with me. The best one was when I woke up with melted chocolate stuck in my hair (hubby is still laughing about that).
So...WTF? I am not happy about this, I have trouble with my weight anyway.
Is this normal?
Obviously even though I THINK I'm sleeping all night, I'm not and am not well rested. I had to move my laptop out of my room because I was trying to send emails in my sleep. Generally they were non-sensical and I never successfully sent one (thank goodness!)
Any advice?

Re: Sleep eating with Clonopin?
Bit in all seriousness....I have a similar thing with zoplicone/ imovane. I hate it but I always get hungry and "jones" for something to eat after I've taken it. Normally, if I just popped some corn it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it's when it's anything else I worry.

Re: Sleep eating with Clonopin?
i take my klonopin about 9:30, and about 11pm i'm about ready to eat everything in the house. i think that's the biggest thing killing my diet right now.
any exercise in the evening makes it worse. i get really, really hungy after exercising.
i get up late, and eat breakfast/lunch about 10:45, which is a partial bowl of chicken noodle soup. i'm not hungry at all. i get more hungry as the day goes on though.
part of my screwed up sleep patterns. i didn't fall asleep until 6:30 am for the last 2 nights, slept all afternoon and am not tired now (almost 10.30).
gotta reprogram tonight.

Sleep eating and Ambien
I have gained about 10 pounds in the last 3 months. If I stay up late I usually find half eaten food somewhere in my room and only the vaguest memory of eating. The grand prize for me was when I was going through my Rice Crispies thing and kept eating them all the time. I accused my parents of eating my Rice Crispy Treats after I'd gone to bed. They don't like Rice Crispy treats and wouldn't eat them if it was the only food in the house. I finally caught myself one night when I literally woke up in the kitchen with the evidence in my hand on and my face. Now I just try to eat a small snack before I go to bed. I don't know what else to do. I don't sleep without Ambien. I guess I just have to accept that I am going to look like Jabba the Hut eventually.

Ambien
Kristen Chenoweth actress, the cute blonde from Wicked and Glee said she had a terrible Internet shopping habit on Ambein. Had no idea she bought anything til boxes arrived. Yikes! What happened if you go out for a drive? Oh, one of the Kennedys showed us that.

Ambien
So far, I've managed to confine myself to eating. Hershey's Cookies and Cream giant sized bars seem to feed the need. I try not to eat the whole thing, its a work in progress.

My husband was quite surprised the next morning and so was I

Re: Sleep eating with Clonopin?
I don't know about Klonopin but I've heard these sleeping pills can turn you into a night eating zombies.
I saw on TV documentaries videos taken of pple completely unaware they were eating in their sleep-like state!
The reason they were videotaped is because they were scratching their heads, why the heck they were gaining weight
while on the diet??? and why there is food in their bed????
After, they knew :/
