Walking about 1 kilometer or taking 1 cup of milk before sleeping may help in getting sleep. If these measures are not effective a small dose of tablet amitriptyli 10-20 mg at bed time may be effective in getting sleep. Since you are also suffering from epilepsy it may be associate with some amount of depression. Your statement "I don't like taking anything" is suggestive that you might be having associated depression. This dose of anti depressive medicine will not affect the efficacy of anti epileptic drug clonazepam you are taking.
