In reply to ZO, ELIZABETH, ANYONE: How much Ativan for Sleep?, posted by fachad on April 5, 2002, at 10:55:08
Fachad,
FINALLY, I can give you a wee bit of info/help(?) with something for a change! :-)
Just wanted to address your concern that taking a long-acting benzo like Klonopin might give you the hang-over/groggy/drowsy affect the next morning.
I have many years of experience with Klonopin, mostly taking 1mg either in am if anxiety is a problem then, or pm.
NEVER EVER, not even when I first started taking it and my body was getting adjusted to it, did taking it in the evening ever give me the hang-over effect the next morning.
However, this is only with 1 mg/night.
Also, 1mg/night NEVER EVER helped me to fall asleep.
So, you'd probably have to take >1mg/night of Klonopin at night to help you fall asleep and perhaps a dosage >1mg/night could produce a morning hang-over effect.
Hope this provides some insight.
