It's funny- the thing you hate about Klonopin is the thing I love. Nothing works better than Klonopin to get me out of a nighttime panic attack- takes away the anxiety and puts me to sleep all at once. Of course, I only take it as needed, not regularly.
I concur with the other post- Xanax is not nearly as sedating for me as Klonopin and is very effective for daytime anxiety attacks. Give it a try.

> I wanted to find out if anyone knew of a selective GABA antagonist that could be used with Clonazepam to eliminate the sedative and amnesic effects of the drug but still allow for the anxiolytic and antipanic effects of the drug to work. I have been taking this drug for a while and find that it is great for reducing anxiety but cannot tolerate these unwanted side effects that are caused by stimulation of the other GABA receptor. Any advice and information would be much appreciated.
