I believe that it is also an effect of withdrawal rebound. It is the timing of the anxiety and irritability relative to dosing that leads me to believe that we are looking at a rebound phenomenon. Klonopin would be less likely to cause this to occur the morning after an evening dose because its half-life is so long. Restoril is a good drug for most people, though.
I am curious. Is the irritability that you say is produced by Restoril the result of disinhibition? Disinhibition usually involves activation, including irritability.
