You could try taking a high dose similar to what you took before, only at nighttime, for a couple of weeks. By the time you wake up, I believe from what I remember before I switched to Klonopin a year ago, is that it clears your system before you wake up, so you're not groggy.
Then, after two weeks is up, you can take that dose in the day, and your body is adjusted.
Sleep through the side effects first, ask questions later.
