The effexor is what's making you loopy. :-p My effexor/klonopin combination lasted about one week before the effexor side effects(WAY increased energy levels, to the point where control was a problem, headaches, appetite loss) became an issue. I was also on the starter kid, taking only half of the minimum dosage. I've always been hyper sensitive to new medications, though. Anyway, I always take SSRIs before bed. That way, if there's any "rush" or panic-inspiring results, I've slept through them by morning. I'm surprised your doc didn't prescribe your klop in .5mg, twice/day increments, as the medication is meant to build up in your system and maintain itself steadily at the same level. I'm pretty sure the half-life is somewhere in the 12-24 hour area. Post again after your first week of the starter kit or email me. I'm interested to see what sort of results you get. And good luck! :-)
