It's interesting how differently people react, even to different drugs within the same class. Klonopin hasn't dulled me out at all (except a bit in first 1-2 weeks that I took it). In contrast, my thinking became much sharper and more focused -- maybe because I wasn't constantly agonizing over trivial details, sleeping 2-3 hours a night, and so on. It's not just my imagination either, since friends, family, and co-workers commented on how I'd suddenly become so "on target" and enthusiastic.
On the other hand, Valium really is a "dumb drug" for me -- when I take even a small amount, it puts me in a haze (and not pleasant, just a general stupid/drugged feeling).
