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!

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.

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!!
