I see a lot of people mention that although they agree klonopin works,they cant handle the sedation.
Well here is something i do that tends to help that,least for me as klonopin never has me runnig for a bed.
Basicaly place ur tab on top of the tv etc,take a nibble,and try to stay active,ride the anxiety let it keep u moving,every 20 min take another nibble,hopefully at a point u should feel the reliaf u seek from having taken the tab minus the strong sedation.I actualy sometimes feel stimulated this way.
Also as u near taking a few pieaces if u are one to do so,excersise a little,get a lil adrenaline pumping,this may just be how it works for me,but it does,Yes its annoying waiting for the effects but it beats being knocked out kinda defeats the prupose.
The only drug ive taken that pops in my head off the back that has me totaly knocked out no matter how i try,is seraquel,i could not fight that sedation off.
Klonopin,if i want to sleep,i will take the whole tab,lay down and usualy fall asleeep.

Thanks Willyee, that sounds good, i'm a daily klonopin user, [i have taken it steadily for 4 years] and i always worry about the sedation before 3 in the afternoon.
i'm going to try your tip, i do alot of exercise during the day, but at around noon i am always tense, i'll give that a try, take care....john

Prob close to 1 mg a day.I forgot where i read it,i think here maybe,but it said that with benzos smaller doses have often shown to be just as effective with larger ones,hardest thing is being patient enough to ride out the anxiety and let it get to working,small doses will do this but take time and you will have to cope with the waiting part,taking a large dose might stop the anxiety more "dead in its tracks" BUT OVERALL sedation depression and tolerance MIght BE A RESULT OF THAT,least i think,i have been on the same klonopin dose since 5 years ago.

Willee I took up to 4mg a day of klonopin and never was tired. I took it with xanax and choloral hydrate too. Wierd how the drugs effect us differently. Although it was depressing to. I went back on xanax then the valium I now take. Love Phillipa

Some people find adding provigil in the morning makes for a good combo with klonopin. Just a thought. Rob
