Klonopin gives me insomnia

[molly897]

WTF!! I'm prescribed 2mg daily, and even if I take 1mg, I can't go to sleep til like 12-2. I usually go to sleep at 10-11 and wake up at 9. I still seem to wake up at the same time either way thus making me tired as shit in the morning. I've read it's a rebound effect, but wth? I've been up since 10 am, had 4 large glasses of wine on 1.5mgs of klonopin, got super fucked up (not intended), puked alot, felt like shit etc, slept it off for 3 hours and felt alright

Fast forward to midnight and I take another 1.25mgs
Fast forward to right now (6:34 am) and I'm barely tired

I REALLY hate staying up, and I find that when I try to sleep I can't. Maybe it's just the wine effecting it more so this time, but, I still get insomnia everyday on this stuff

anyone else have any experience? thank you

i dont know if this will help but could you not do some form of excercize in the day then take the tablet as usuall if you still have difficulties youve phychologicly conditioned yourself to certin sleeping times almost obseesivly so try un get to see dr and ask for treatment for ocd like behavior. you will be supprized by the power of the mind and if you find a sympothetic thrapist thats half the battle sounds phychological to me got nothing to lose and a lot 2 gain

this sounds psychological? I slept fine before I took this shit. I'm not stopping cause it helps me.... yeah I'm OCD but idgaf when I go to bed I just don't want to be up past 12 tired as shit andcant sleep .... I should have been knocked out yesterday but didn't until 7am

That's pretty much the answer to your question.

same problem

DO NOT laugh a about her it is not a placebo effect i have the same Annoying problem from the first time i took klonopin and it been 4 month since i took my first dose , it agitate me and i have big problem to concentrate on something , its even describe in the side effects, its rare but happen to some people like us but it seem to put more to sleep when taken in high dosage, if that could help.

i would switch benzos if i were you, maybe take 50mg of tetrazepam during the day for anxiety, it's not at all sedating (if needed, you don't have to take it every day) and a hypnotic like 1mg of loprazolam for sleep... (also take as needed, when you have bad bouts of insomnia), find an efficient combo that works for you

Placebo effect is when given a pill that is fake and then how the person responds. (One example) so of course it can't be placebo Its a paradox. Some people feel the opposite effects.

^^^agreed.
I kow im on alot of clones compaired to other people 8 mg daily
so if i take double the dose i can ussualy roll over after a couple hours and have a nice nap..
Never herd of effects like that in such low doeses , but i guess it all depends on yer tollerance..
But sereously ive never read my pamphlets on the clonazepams i get and never herd of the reverse effect,kinda interessting.
Must also suck...
