Honestly, I'd do EXACTLY what your doc. has prescribed. You can always set the deadline back for starting them, but don't mess with your dosage without talking to your doctor first. If you want to ramp up to the full dosage, that would seem fine, but you never know what's going to happen if you mess with the amounts you're supposed to take.

I recently started taking Klonopin myself (though in its generic form--no real difference there), and the only effect that it gave me was incredibly drowsiness. You ought to be just fine.

luck&love,
