I strongly agree- why not see if less would be just as helpful while making you less sleepy? It's possible...Perhaps your body needs less to get an effect- we are all different, and there is no sense in taking more of a powerful medication than you need if not necessary.
> First of all, this is a hard question to answer because every med affects everyone differently. Traditionally, .25 mg does not make someone as tired as you described, but there could be other factors I do not know about: If it is the first time you've been on a benzo, first time on Klonopin, if you are taking other pdrugs with the Klonopin, etc.
