BIG differences between benzos?

Posted by JaneB on October 7, 2003, at 11:37:24

How can it be that sleep meds in the same class can have such varied side effects? Prosom makes me sleep but then I cry at the drop of a hat next day. Same response to restoril, ativan, and I suspect Ambien (though I haven't tried it for a year.) What is so chemically different between the meds? Why is it that clonazepam is the only benzo that keeps me smooth but does not always help me sleep? Just thought of the answer to my own question. Probably because I take clonazepam on a continual basis--.50pm, .25 am. But it is losing its sleep inducing benefit. Should I increase it or supplement with something else?
