Klonopin feels that way to me, too. It's a real no-go for me.
Right now I take Valium 5mg for sleep. It works, but I do feel drugged in the klonopin direction.
During the day, I take xanax as needed; however, if I was the master of my own scrips, I would try ativan.
Here's an idea: I feel like klonopin, though a major depressant, does some deep work that xanax doesn't touch. Xanax can be edgy and create mood and
anxiety spikes in my own experience. What if you took some of your Valium at bedtime, let it do it's round the clock work, and try ativan during the day. Maybe.Is ad(h)d part of your treatment spectrum? Or just GAD?
