Yet another Klonopin Question
by debaser23, Mar 27, 2007 12:00AM
Actually, two questions:
1. Will the sedation side effect ever wear off? I've been told different things by different people. Today I woke up at 7am for work and just couldn't get moving at all. At 8am I e-mailed a co-worker to say I was going to take a quick nap and then come in. I didn't get out of the chair before I feel asleep, and was asleep for two hours!
2. I've been on .5 mg BID for eight days. What would happen if I took a dose, forgot that I took it, and then took another within thirty minutes?
Thanks. Gotta go...way late for work.

I have taken 2 at once by doctor's order at a very difficult time I had. I doubt that anything bad would happen to you except even more sleep and drowsiness...however, we all react differently and I always heard to forgo a dose instead of taking two if you are not sure...however, your doctor should have the last word on this!

Since you didn't respond to the second part of the question, I assume it wouldn't be a huge deal to take another .5 mg of Klonopin by mistake.
#2 (extra 1/2 mg) = greater sedation for 12 hours (but not always). No big deal!
