I was on a much lower dose of Klonopin (.5mg every night for sleep) for a year and stopped because it wasn't working as well and I didn't want to up my dosages, plus I believe it thinned my hair and also gave me a generalized depression. I had tapered down to half a tablet then a quarter and while my sleep began to get screwed up, I definitely noticed a lift in overall mood (no improvement in hair, unfortunately). Anyway, what helped me a lot was melatonin. Melatonin never did much for me before, but somehow after the Klonopin, it really helped to stabilize my sleep. Sleep is still an issue for me, but I've been able to deal with it through natural means, luckily. Ambien just aggravated my depression.
