I love taking Klonopin before a stressful situation but when I take it close to the time when I take my other meds like risperidone and Depakote it knocks me right out.
I mean lights out!
I don’t remember a thing the following morning.
This happens when I take Klonopin like 3 to 4 hours before I take my bedtime dose of my other meds.
It’s kind of scary that it does this.
Some people use it as a sleeping aid. I remember when I first started using it, it would make me very sleepy until I started building up a tolerance to it. 
By far the worst medication I tried.
I was on Clozapine and Klonopin. The doctor thought I had no sex drive because of Clozapine, but it was Klonopin. clozapine was a must needed medication therefore I went 8 years without sex drive.
Some other problems I experienced were:
Existing seems to knock me out lately. I am taking too many naps.
Clonazepam doesn’t make me feel sleepy but it does induce sleep, meaning it allows me to fall asleep,.I take it 1/2 an hour before bed and I’m asleep for 7 hours. I wake up feeling fine and alert. The best med I’ve tried for sleep… and I’ve tried about 10ish meds and/or supplements for sleep the vast majority of which were completely useless.
It has diminished my sex drive, but not eliminated it.
When I first started taking it, for a few months, I felt tranquilized a lot but that has passed.
Nothing else to report.
I take 1.5mg every night before bed.
Yeah it only knocks me out because of my other PM meds.
Klonipin doesn’t always work for sleep for me. Only sometimes. I only use it occasionally though for either anxiety or insomnia. It always works for anxiety.
I only take 0.5 mg.
I like Klonopin too. Just small mg. My pdoc stopped prescribe them. Maybe take half of a Klonopin. What mg are you taking? Ask your pdoc about it.
I take a small dose @roxanna
Under 0.5 mg but more than 0.25mg
That’s a good mg. I hope it’s helping you. Or will.
Thanks @roxanna
i tried alot of meds for sleep but the only thing that works is klonapin and melatonin combined plus i take clozaril at the same time
I take 3 mg klonapin 15 mg melatonin and 500 clozaril
