In reply to Will klonopin initial sedation wear off?, posted by babs on June 1, 2003, at 20:02:36
Babs,
Yes, it will. That is the beauty of the benzos. The sedation wears off, but the anti-anxiety effects do *not*. Why not start at 0.5 once a day and titrate up. You can split the pills in half, and even start at 0.25 mg, then 0.5 mg, and so forth until you get to the dose that eliminates anxiety without side effects.
One way I deal with anxiety is to eat more. Perhaps now that your anxiety is controlled, you eat less? That was my experience, but you may be different. Also, for me, Klonopin causes hypersalivation, which makes food taste better, and (likely) protects your teeth.
Best,
Matt
