Hi Babs,
Regarding the initial sedation on Klono, yes it does clear .... somewhat. Most folks say they stopped feeling the sedative effect within a few days/weeks of continual use. That's not been my experience though - after 4 months on Klono I still feel a little drowsy after my morning dose.
And as for dosage, this has to be the drug with the widest effective range I have ever seen. I'm a 6'5" foot guy, 200 pounds, and anything over 0.25 mg of Klono in one take knocks me to the ground. And then I hear people on the board taking 2, 4 mgs or more per day - inconceivable for me.
My advice is to start on the smallest dose you can and work your way upwards until you find what works for you - i.e. the right compromise between anxiety-relief and sedation.
All the best.
Steve
