As far as benzo's, I take them during the day, not for sleep, but the side effect I've felt is some anhedonia; my pdoc says that they (though she specifically cited klonopin) are infamous for that.

Thank you for your response. I'm on day 3 of 100 mg. The past two days followed a similar pattern of feeling somewhat bland, suppressed, slightly overmedicated in the morning and then gradually getting better throughout the day. Only side effect I have is numbness in the tips of the fingers on my left hand, each day a new one, index first, then middle, now thumb.
Anhedonia is really unpleasant; I'm sorry you have to experience that.
