> Just wanted to say that I found your post interesting. I was trying 0.5mg of clonazepam as a sleep-aid for a little while in conjunction with various drugs and often could have sworn it was making me more alert and stimulated if I dosed at night (around 11pm). I was convinced this was a placebo effect, though your reaction confirms my suspicions ...

Though I sometimes need to be in bed for it to actually take effect .. it's 1.49am and I took 2mg two hours ago and am still up on the 'net, though feeling calm/sedated.My guess is that it's probably not a placebo effect.
2 mg is a bit much. Whether you take it is up to you of course, but are you aware that the diazepam/Valium equivalent is supposed to be around 40 mg diazepam ?
This drug can be a lot stronger than it feels.
It also has a long half life, allowing for building tolerance even if you take it just twice a week.
