Ryan or Anybody

So ... I have been on Klonopin .5 b.i.d. Some fatigue is still lingering. It has been a month that I have been on it, do I need to wait it out, or after a month is the fatigue going to linger?  Does it make sense try and take 1.0 before bed only? Does it make sense to break up the a.m. dose ? Just curious... Thanks!

Ryan will answer better, but from his other posts you will not get the "steady state" effect of Klonopin.  You need to take 1/2 and 1/2 12 hours apart.  I am not sure if you should or could break up the a.m. dose...also, I would suggest giving yourself more time...has your fatigue lessened since you began taking the Klonopin?  If so, keep on going.  Also, has your anxiety lessened?  If so, I feel that it is worth the fatigue!  (That is just my opinion!!)  However, always check with your doctor before beginning, or ending or even changing your medication!!

Thanks suzi-q! It is better...the anxiety has lessened. I take it for gad and sad. Overall, I like it... I just feel tired that is all. It is hard sometimes to stay motivated to work, exercise, you know? I read that usually two weeks and it goes away... but the fatigue could be other factors too. Life, overweight, etc. Thanks for your response.
