Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Mike gray mentioned that his startle reflex was under control with Klonopin. I also have an exagerrated startle reflex and it is under control with rivotril (clonazepem) but sometimes when i hear an unexpected sound my leg or arm can still shoot out and i almost fall. I believe that this overexaggerated startle reflex is my stumbling block (pardon the pun) to being able to walk alone with just my walking stick. I know that i would be more stable. My neuro wants me to have an anti-gad blood test to test for Stiffman Syndrome. I had this same test 7 years ago and it came back all normal. I am positive that i dont have Stiffman Syndrome as does my Neuro, because I know that their symptoms are absolutely dreadful, but he wants to rule it out for sure. My question is does anyone else have the over active startle reflex?? expecially when you hear unexpected lound sounds?? and is an over active startle reflex part and parcel of HSP or PLS. thanks Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
