Hi,
I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I have been on Klonopin 1 mg. at bedtime for sleep and Effexor XR 225 mg. in the morning for depression for over one year. I suffer from morning hangover and daytime fatigue most likely from a combination of the long half-life of Klon and possibly from the Effexor as well. Pdoc had me taper 1/4 tab each week off of the Klono and had me try Trazadone 50 to 150 mg. at bedtime. I got to 1/4 of a tab of Klon and 50 mg. of Traz and could not sleep and started getting anxiety. Plus, I felt like a nimwit on Traz. Bad for my cognition.So back on Klon 1 mg. and Effexor. So tired during the day. Either I am getting depressed or the fatigue is depressing. I sleep well on the Klon.
Coffee is not even helping much anymore. Any ideas? Thanks, AnneL
