Yes, I think it works better for sleep than xanax does. But I need at least 1 mg on top of 300 mg trazadone and 50 mgs of seroquel in order for it to work on me. Good luck!

I have no experience with Xanax but I used to take 1.mg of Klonopin along with 100mg of Trazadone for sleep. The combination would give me a good 6hrs of sleep. My primary won't prescribe it anymore. So now I take Trazadone 125mg and 5mg of Ambien for sleep.

Just FYI I am in transition phase from Xanax to klonopin and boy I feel sLeepy all day. Just not used to it. Thxs for the inputs.

Soul kiss may I ask how long were you on it for, why didn't pri continue with it and what's your opinion on may I ask?

Sure Notme,

I was on it for a good 5 years. It was orginally prescribed for anxiety as needed, which was about everyday. It never gave me the sleepy feeling, however, it did give me a feeling of calm. In the beginning it was prescribed by my psychiatrist but then I had stopped seeing him for a good 5 years. I also suffer from kidney problems, so I asked my specialist if he could write the script since i had at that time, stopped seeing my psychiatrist and he obliged. Being a military dependent and Dr change every 2 to 3 years, my new specialist didn't want to continue. I tried to have my primary prescribe but they rather me up the Trazadone seeing I have been on it for forever and try ambien than to give the Klonopin. I understand they were worried about dependence but I never had that problem. To make a long winded story short I beleive it to be a very good mellowing agent and for some a sleep aide. However, it is a benzo (I beleive) so if this is successful in giving you some much needed rest for a few weeks, you may want to explore some other options with your Dr. He may even bring it up first. All in all I would recommend it. In my opinion it does do wonders.

I started taking Xanax for panic attacks and had severe irritability whenever it wore off (usually 4-6 hrs). I switched to Klonopin and then Klonopin Wafers. Klonopin has a long half-life which makes it ideal for me vs. Xanax. Xanax may work faster, but the Klonopin keeps me asleep. I highly recommend the wafers, they work faster, although you can always try putting your pill under your tongue and letting it dissolve that way.

What mg does the wafer come in and how do you feel throughout the day on them?

Was just prescribed these for sleep (apnea/ hypopnea and anxiety that seems to be manifesting itself during sleep/ dreams leading to EDS). We're still in the trial and error portion of everything, and I have just gotten clonezapem wafer .25 mg. Took one almost 2 hours ago and nothing! I'm starting to feel like I'm NEVER going to fall asleep!!!! :-/. Does this mean I need a mg increase? I've never really taken prescription meds, so I don't know how this works...

Clonezapin is a tranquilizer and is use to treat panic disorder and other neurological disorder that I won't mention. but what it does is ti attaches to GABA in your brain and helps it the GABA calms your nerves. If you are low on GABA naturally you will experience these symptoms as I. My nerves just won't stop shaking. For me I was put on .25 mg Xanax by my primary. It worked for the 1st 2 weeks after getting 4-5 hrs sleep but did not feel rested when I woke up. I went to the psychiatrist and he put me on .5 mg of Clonezapin. So this is the 1st week that I've been on it and so far, knock on wood, I've been calm enough to fall into a deep sleep. I wake up 2x a night but my body feel rested when I wake up. I feel OK through out the day but do feel my nerves go shaking from time to time but I could live with it for now. Increasing your dosage will help but before doing that you must talk to your doctor 1st. Hakunamatatah...No worries my friend....
