In reply to Caffeine use and Benzos, posted by Dragonslayer on March 27, 2003, at 13:55:40
Hi Dragonslayer,
Just saw your post, I have recenmtly started on Lamictal and notice that it has made me very sleepy during the day, causing me to drink more caffeine just to be awake-I've been taking a lot of naps.
As far as a benzo, I'm on Klonopin and yes, I have felt the need to drink more caffeine in forms of soda to feel more awake.
I also wonder if it negates the effects of a benzo too, this is a good question, wish I could help ya beter.
Take care, Kristen

> Please no letures about how caffeine use makes anxiety worse as I know that. I was wondering if anyone has successfully used or returned to using caffeine if a benzo makes you sleepy. Does this just negate the action of the benzo ? Benzos use has generally always been a little sedating for me even after using them with regularity and *long term*. The effect faded some but not altogether. Thanks in advance.
