Klonopin produces a sedative effect for about the first 8 weeks you take it. This will wear off. But you are on a relatively high dose. I took 0.5 mgs/morning and 1 mg/night for a couple years for anxiety. That amount worked well. Some days I only took 0.25 mgs in the morning.
Maybe you should lower your dose a bit if you feel that "stoned." The cheerful, talkative feelings are a result of the anti-anxiety properties of Klonopin. I assume you are taking it for anxiety...?
Good luck to you -
