In reply to Which is more addictive Ambien or Klonopin?, posted by Lynne on December 12, 2003, at 0:15:12
Lynne,
Klonopin is a benzo which by definition is addictive. Klonopin did me no good other than I slept through the night and was sedated ALL day long for at least a year. Had to go in the hospital to get off it. You cannot break the habit: it is physiologically addictive.
I happily take 10mg of Ambien now. Some nights I don't even take it. There are no side effects other than amnesia IF you stay awake after taking it. No other side effects. I've been on them all and Ambien is by far the best, in my humble opinion.
Tried Valerian root, too. It was far too strong for me. Sedative effects lasted all the next day.
Mimi (Hope that helps)
