I take Klonopin every night for sleep. I haven't had any side effects. Your doctor is smart to have you only take it 3 times a week, so you don't get addicted.
Another medication I take during the day is Buspar. That helps a lot too, and is not addictive like Klonopin.

Hi Sadie! Thanks for the reply. What dosage are you on? I picked up my script today and she put me on 0.5. That seems low, no? I'm going to try it tonight and see how I feel. Hopefully I am able to relax and sleep.

ya side affects would make you dizzy but would go away after a 1/2 hour, read the prescription bottle or go on line and type in the drug and it will tell you the side affects

Klonopin will relax you and your doctor is wise to tell you to treat it with caution. It is not a drug to depend on as repeated use generally means gaining a tolerance to its effects. Having to take higher doses is not something you want to become involved with. Sorry Prozac did not work for you. It has been good for me and I have been taking it for many years. I cannot say that it makes me feel any particular way.

I take 1mg at night for sleep. I think 0.5 would work okay for you though, especially since you've never taken it before.

Thank you everyone. I'm going to try it tonight and hopefully get good results. My anxiety is really high tonight, so I'm hoping that I could finally relax.
