In reply to What so great about Klonopin?, posted by Carlos on May 5, 2002, at 17:44:56
I've tried to figure out the Klonopin Mystique before. I've never tried Klonopin, but I have tried a few other benzos and was not impressed.
Anyway, lots of folks here claim that Klonopin is somehow different, that it does wonders for people.
I think for me it would just cause more lethargy and apathy.
> It's said by some on here to cause dis-inhibition...almost comparable to having a few drinks of alcohol even??

> I've been on 1mg morning and 1mg night for about 2 months now. (I'm on the generic, if that helps at all)
>
> It makes me so groggy in the morning. I have to have someone wake me up every morning or else I won't get up untill 3pm.

> Although it eases my social anxiety, it doesn't make me feel like I had a few drinks....wait...I take that back, for about the first 5 hours after I wake up I feel really good (Im talkative, feel like I could take on any social encounter) but then I crash. I don't want to do anything, I usually get depressed and want to sleep.

> I also sometimes take 5mg of dexedrine in the morning (sometimes again in the evening) to "get me up and going"...could this be counter acting with the Klonopin?
>
> I tried JUST the dexedrine one day to see if that would do anything...OMG...NEVER AGAIN. I was a horrible nervous and depressed wreck.

> Any suggestions. I have a doc appointment tomorrow morning. Anyone think upping the doesage would help?

> I've seen to have become a bit tolerate to it, since it doesn't knock me out like it used to, so I don't even think I need dexedrine anymore???
>
> Thanks in advance.
