Lisa,
I take Klonopin every day for anxiety and panic attacks too, and I DEFINITELY swear by the brand name. I took the generic for awhile, and when I changed psychiatrists, my new doctor told me that quite a few of her patients reported that the brand name seemed more effective. I was skeptical, but now am firmly converted to the brand name drug. Fortunately, my insurance covers both and the copay is the same. Also, as for the side effects, they should subside soon. When I started the medication, I was having a hard time staying awake, too. I divided my doses and now I don't feel any sedation at all when I take the drug. The only time I feel sedated is at night, but that's because I take the Klonopin with other meds (lithium and zyprexa).
