So what do you mean by "ADD Hung-Over"?I have ADHoD (Attention Deficit Hypo-Activity Disorder). Pstims help both the Attention Deficit and the Hypo-Activity. (Yes, I made up that diagnosis, but dammit, that's what I have!) And I have had several major depressive episodes, and chronic dysthimia, both of which are helped by SSRIs and pstims.
I'm all for improving cognition, but really my only objective for taking a benzo is to sleep thru the night, without inducing obesity (TCAs) or poverty (Ambien) in the process.
So is Klonopin overkill, and will it aggravate my hypo-activity? Is that what you mean by ADD hung-over?
I am really fishing for subjective impressions rather than scientific information on the differences between benzos.
If you've taken a number of benzos, which one(s) have that "knock-out" quality of Ambien?
Thanks,
