In reply to Yet another Klonopin question?, posted by Dragonslayer on May 28, 2003, at 8:24:12

Hi,

I was CLOSE to using K exclusively - I was on just K and Paxil for like 10 years. And I was on only 1mg/day of K at that time.

Amazingly I think that K just does NOT work overtly for me because I took that 1mg all those years in the MORNING and had NO DROWSINESS whatsoever. I was also taking Paxil - perhaps that offset it, although I hear a lot of people feel drowsy on Paxil as well!

This time around with the darn 2mg I take (1 in am and 1 in pm/bedtime) I still don't think K is doing anything overt to me. I guess I'll find out because starting next week, with or without my pdoc's approval, I am going to start a slow taper OFF it which was posted on here!

You are RIGHT in your belief that one SHOULD get decent relief for ALL of the next day from a night time dose, due to Klonopin's long half-life and gradual, slow action.

However, something to bear in mind is that we are ALL DIFFERENT; what applies to most people might not apply to you and vice versa! My pdoc and I have discovered that unfortunately I cannot tolerate high (or sometimes even the minimal therapeutic) doses of many meds. This is very frustrating because my BP2 has yet to be stabilized and under control.
