In reply to Weaning from 2mg Klonopin to 1 1/2mg any thoughts?, posted by KrissyP on March 8, 2003, at 12:41:54
Krissy,
I used to take Klonopin for bruxism at night. I took 1mg per night. I used to wake up mornings a little sleepy. It was not so bad for me.
I do have to say that using Neurontin instead of the Klonopin has improved my quality of sleep.
My pdoc says that Klonopin interferes with the regular sleep structure. Yes, you will sleep but you might not get all the right kinds of sleep at the right times for you. He claims that the Neurontin does not interfere with regular sleep structure.
I do have better sleep now. It really is a subjective thing and your mileage may vary.
> Hi all,
> I took my Effexor 75mg last night after I was contemplating not to-I also took my 50 mg Lamictal (hoping to increase the dose within time) and I have to say I woke up feeling better-not as much mania. BUT, I also woke up feeling tired even after 9 hours of sleep. So, I am planning on taking (like my doc and I have been discussing) 1 1/2 mg of the Klonopin instead of the usual 2mg and see if this helps with the tiredness when I wake up after a good amount of sleep. After all, I got 9 hours of sleep-pretty normal for me.
