Funny that you posted this. I take them both also. I have been trying to reduce my klonopin dose, but for the most part have taken about 1 mg at night and .75mg at noon. I takr WB sr morning and noon 150mg. I find that I do best in the morning as well. It is a very speedy feeling especially if I've had any coffee.
When I take my afternoon doses it's like the klonopin negates the stimulant effects of the WB. It's a tough deal for me because I take the K for derealization and things get real bad if I don't take that afternoon dose. The K has some kind of AD effect for me also. Anyhow, I am tired and maybe a little depressed for a few hours after, but it gets better.
I don't know if their is really any "true" AD effect of WB or if it just gives you energy which translates into something similar to not being depressed. It definitely helps me, but yes, this is a funky combo. I think there may be some antagonism between the two during that afternnon dose. Hang in there!
