As I mentioned before, Klonopin knocks me out. I have read that one of the side effects of Klonopin is anxiety. Fortunately, the sedative effect overpowers the anxiety. My goal is to get off of Klonopin. I feel that I am psychologically dependent on it for sleep and my guess would be that I am also physiologically dependent on it as well because of taking it on a nightly basis for one year now. In other words, I do not believe that I will be able to just walk away from this medication without some kind of professional advice. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anne
