I took 1 mg klonopin 3 times a day for years and felt pretty good. 5mg is way too much, no wonder your sleepy.

Sorry it's .5 mgs for each pill. So I'm only getting .5 in a whole day.

Hi Tired, I take .5 mg before bed,,, been on it for a few years now, seems to work well for me.

I take .5 twice a day but want to get it increased to three times. That sounds like a high amount

I am on Clonazepam. I take 1 mg 3 times a day depending on when I need it. 2.5 MG at a time seems like a very high dose, ecspecially to start on. When I started I was only taking 0.5 mg at a time.
I can imagine that at that dose you are tired.

I used to get tired from it at the dose I am on but my body adjusted and I don't get that tired anymore, but in saying this I do need to take it before bed to help me sleep at night, so it does relax my body.

I would try to talk to your doctor and see if a lesser dose at first would help with getting used to the tiredness.

In saying this, most anxiety pills do cause tiredness, but from my experience it gets better as you take it.

Hope this helps.

Now that you said it is 0.5 mg a day, that sounds a lot more reasonable.
Personally it took my body some time but I have gotten used to taking 1 mg 1-3 times a day.

I would suggest taking it at night for a couple days to a week before taking it during the day. But if you don't have anything you have to do like driving or working then maybe try it during the day.

I have found it to be a good medication for me. I hope that it works for you.
