Hi Banga,
I seem to be having the same reaction to Klonopin as you. I have been taking it at night and only .5 mg. I took it at night for about 4 or 5 nights in a row when it was first prescribed, and every morning and even throughout the day I felt sad, weepy and a bit irritable. I stopped taking it, but then I thought I may have been experiencing PMS and had been hasty in my decision to stop the Klonopin. So, for the past 4 or 5 nights I have been taking .5mg again, and, sure enough, my mood seems to be on the decline, I feel weepy (not actually crying, just constantly feel on the verge) and somewhat irritable. So, I have come to the conclusion that Klonopin is not for me.
Anyway, short story long to get to my simple question for you: how long did it take for the destablizing effects of the Klonopin to wear off?
Thanks.
Tamara
