In reply to Starting Klonopin today,,,any advise???please.., posted by woolav on September 13, 2004, at 18:05:28
Hi Sandy:
I take Klonopin and have for over a year, for GAD. I found that it was a bit sedating at first and I had low energy on it for about 10 days. That stopped, leaving a nice, mellow, "I can cope" feeling. If you respond this way, you will right away notice a difference to Xanax, which is amore activating benzo, so you may experience Klonopin as a bit of a "down" at first, in contrast. However, I think you will also feel more "even", especially after a while. Also, it doesn't seem to cause the same tolerance problems. I'm actually on a lower dose now than I started with, and have the same therapeutic effect.
Good luck!
Jas
