> Klonopin (or any benzodiazepine) with caffeine is like chasing rainbows. It sort of defeats the purpose of dulling anxiety. (pot calling the kettle black I've done it too, but my medication regime is extremely complex and its unclear which is contributing to sedation).Caffiene has been recomended by many sites on assiting with medication sedation.Im not saying to go and gulp down mgs of it,however in small increments it can help with the sedation without ruining the benifit,i.e sipping a moutain dew.
Caffiene actualy has a lot of postive actions,aside from its main fault which is a strong stimulant and obviously one that does not help many here.
So what i mean to say is if there is minor sedation with a anxiety med working,mainly a benzo,caffiene from two sites on anxiety i know of recomends the use of low dose caffiene or modfanil to aid in counter productive sedation.
However you know your body,and you know if its simply too much sedation for the benifit your getting,just putting a suggestion out,however as i always say stay and start small with all adjustments and listen to your body,and um your doc,i know my body usualy steers me out of trouble i learned this the hard way,no doc or atricle,ot statistic will know how my milage on my body runs,i wish you well.
