See your physician: Clonazepam (Klonopin (clonazepam)) is used to help patients with RLS obtain more restful sleep. Are you on a dopamine agonsist (ropinirole, pramipexole) for RLS? Combining opioid pain medication with Klonopin (clonazepam) can cause suppressed breathing during sleep, especially if you have other conditions. See a neurologist for management of RLS. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/restless_legs/detail_restless_legs.htm

Excessive sedatiion: Both medications have sedating properties and if taken together may be excessively sedating. You should let the doctor who prescribed the Percocet know you are taking Klonopin (clonazepam). Be very careful about driving and working with machines if you are taking both.
