The night dose of Klonopin doesn’t seem to do much but maybe that’s because I’m not doing much? Just in bed? The morning dose hits me about 20 minutes later and today I had gone to Dunkin - an 10-minute drive- and was sooooo tired there and so stoned that I couldn’t post here except for nonsense! I went and sat in my car until some of the effects wore off well enough so I could post here and drive. I had a decaf coffee because I don’t want to mix caffeine with Klonopin OR Vraylar! At any rate no matter when I go to bed- having taken all my meds- I end up wide awake at 4 a,m.! Around 9 a.m. I took a 2-hour nap and felt better tired-wise.
